Designing cycle-attractiveness
No full textThis study responds to cities in the world focussing more and more on implementing a bicycle infrastructure. The bicycle infrastructure is often envisioned to make the city more attractive for the people (again), however a lot of the criteria to design for the bicycle infrastructure are left vague and (too) open for interpretation as 'attractiveness' is something personal. Because of this lack of definition the space for the cyclist is able to get compromised for other functions. This study shows that the further definition (per type of cyclist) of spatial design criteria for cycle-attractiveness could become a more elaborated evaluationtool for design choices when putting the priority for the space on cyclists per type and in different scales within the city. Next to this, this study shows the possible impact on other users/stakeholders of the public space. The city of Amsterdam is used as a showcase on how to use the evaluationtool and what could be achieved while using it.Architecture and The Built EnvironmentUrbanis
Empower the energy landscape of Friesland
No full textMany parties are required to activate the energy transition. It’s a challenge for everybody: citizens, businesses, governments and civil society organizations at all levels. Not just at (inter) national level, but renewable energy should also, especially, be given shape on the regional and local scale. To realize local opportunities of energy in the region, a good balance is needed between seizing the local opportunities and a good integration in the environment. This requires a regional approach and special research on the specific area. In this approach provinces, regions and municipalities play an important role, as supply and demand come together there. How will the spatial context change tue to the impact that the energy transition will have? The two perspectives of energy and space are not often proceeding the spatial quality and technical innovation together. How to work towards a future that supplies 100% renewable energy when considering spatial quality and what is an accepted way to work towards this future? Together with Trynergie, the local energy cooperation of the Trynwâlden area, local chances and opportunities for becoming energy neutral are explored in different nearby and far future scenarios.Architecture and The Built EnvironmentUrbanis

Delft, for knowledge and people: Connecting the Knowledge City with its citizens
No full textIn the last decades of the 20th century, there has been a shift from the industrial towards the knowledge and service economy. Cities also join this trend, by presenting themselves as ‘knowledge cities’. The Knowledge City is “a city that was purposefully designed to encourage the nurturing of knowledge”. The city of Delft presented itself from the beginning of the 1990s as a ‘knowledge city’. Delft Kennisstad pays a lot of attention to the business climate, but tends to forget about the people climate. The goal of the graduation project was to create a new sustainable strategy for the city of Delft, based on knowledge, but in a way that all citizens of Delft can benefit from it. The Schie Canal Banks in Delft were redesigned, based on the theories of the sustainable Knowledge City. The final products were a study on the planning requiremenst of the Knowledge City and a comparison with the sustainable city; an analysis of Delft and the Schie Canal Banks; and a final design for Delft and the Schie Canal Banks.UrbanismArchitectur

Permanent Temporality
No full textOffice vacancy is a growing problem in the Netherlands. In the first half of 2012, office vacancy continued to grow to 7,62 million square meters, 15,4% of the total office stock. Demographic trends (decrease of the workforce), changing ways of working (telecommuting), decreasing immigration and technological innovations (continued automation) may give an even bigger rise to a strong reduction in demand for office space. The situation is clear that office vacancy is an enormous challenge for building owners dealing with non-rentable space and municipalities having to deal with the degradation of areas due to lack of liveliness. The report researches the topics of office transformation, flexibility and student housing. The design project tries to find a solution to the increasing vacancy rates, by offering a sustainable, flexible and customizable system which can be applied to standard size office buildings. The system is applied to 'De Pionier' in The Hague.ExploreLabArchitectureArchitectur
Education for the resilient city – teaching and learning urban design and planning in COVID-19 times
No full textThis article describes the TU Delft's 2020 experiences during the pandemic in teaching and learning urban design and planning for (post-)COVID-19 times. The article presents the view why, that and how the themes of spatial resilienceand governance resilience should be emphasized in urbanism curriculums. Additionally, it discusses the value of creating well-organized and empathetic online design studios as an inspiring learning environment for both studentand teacher.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository 'You share, we take care!' - Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Spatial Planning and StrategyUrban DesignEnvironmental Technology and Desig
