Spatial Planning for Urban Resilience in the Face of the Flood Risk

Institutional Actions, Opportunities and Challenges

2021 || Paperback || Meng Meng || TU Delft Open

The research was inspired by the increasing impact of extreme weather events and changing climate patterns on flood-prone regions and cities, and the consequent human and economic costs. Despite global efforts for flood resilience and climate adaptation involving climate analysts, economists, social scientists, politicians, hydrological engineers, spatial planners, and policymakers, it is only partially clear how best to construct resilience measures and implement concrete initiatives. The co...

The building design, systems engineering and performance analysis of plant factories for urban food production

2021 || Paperback || Luuk Graamans || TU Delft Open

Expanding cities across the world rely increasingly on the global food network, but should they? Population growth, urbanisation and climate change place pressure on this network, bringing its resilience into question. For decades urban agriculture has been discussed in popular media and academia as a potential solution to improve food security, quality and sustainability. The new idol in this discussion is the plant factory: A fully closed system for crop production. Arrays of LEDs provide l...

Interplay between inter-organizational structures and interpersonal relationships in project-based organizations in the construction industry

2021 || Paperback || Jelle Koolwijk || TU Delft Open

The aim of this PhD project was to explore the multi-level interplay between the inter-organizational structures and interpersonal relations in building project organizations. In the first two studies, quantitative approaches were used to validate assumptions about how inter-organizational structures are shaped by actors and how interpersonal relationships affect the effectiveness of project teams in the construction industry. These two studies were integrated in a third qualitative case stud...

Spatial planning and high-tech development

a comparative study of Eindhoven city-region, the Netherlands and Hsinchu City-region, Taiwan

2019 || Paperback || Wei-Ju Huang || TU Delft Open

High-tech development—which lies at the very heart of the processes of economic growth—has been recognised by many developed and developing countries as a strategic instrument to enhance and sustain their competitiveness in the global economic network. Although the concept of high-tech development differs between countries, many share the underlying assumption that the core of high-tech development is to create a sound environment where innovation thrives. This ideology implies a definite...

How space is making Rotterdam warmer, how this affects the health of its inhabitants, and what can be done about it

2019 || Paperback || Frank van der Hoeven e.a. || TU Delft Open

Heat waves will occur in Rotterdam with greater frequency in the future. Those affected most will be the elderly – a group that is growing in size. In the light of the Paris heat wave of August 2003 and the one in Rotterdam in July 2006, mortality rates among the elderly in particular are likely to rise in the summer.

Method

The aim of the Hotterdam research project was to gain a better understanding of urban heat. The heat was measured and the surface energy balance modelled from that pers...

A Bio-inspired Design Framework for Real-time Interactive Architectures

2018 || Paperback || Jia-Rey Chang || TU Delft Open

This pioneering research focuses on Biomimetic Interactive Architecture using "Computation", "Embodiment", and "Biology" to generate an intimate embodied convergence to propose a novel rule-based design framework for creating organic architectures composed of swarm-based intelligent components. Furthermore, the research boldly claims that Interactive Architecture should emerge as the next truly Organic Architecture. As the world and society are dynamically changing, especially in this digital...

sustainability and resilience

socio-spatial perspective

2018 || Paperback || Alenka Fikfak e.a. || TU Delft Open

Sustainability and resilience have become indispensable parts of the contemporary debate over the built environment. Although recognised as imperatives, the complexity and the variety of interpretations of sustainability and resilience have raised the necessity to again rethink their notion in the context of the built environment and to reframe the state-of-the-art body of knowledge.

The purpose of this book is to present ongoing research from the universities involved in the project Creating...
