Mixed Function, Energy Neutral Building in Marineterrein Area
No full textMy graduation project provides a feasible solution for the energy neutral, mixed used building on Amsterdam’s Marineterrein area, the former site of the Dutch Royal Navy. The intention of the project is to show the possibilities of energy balance between different functions and completing the goal of energy neutrality, which offers a sustainable solution to deal with growing generation of energy consumption of household and its related impact on human and urban. Furthermore, the project aimed to be a flexible and long term building, which could create a sustainable and diverse urban environment. Based on the concept and approach of energy neutrality, the architectural design improves circular economy design and social issues. The building includes student housing, a fitness centre and an underground supermarket. In this building, student apartments are built to solving housing shortage problem in Amsterdam and a fitness centre is for generating power from human activities. Moreover, as refrigeration system in the supermarket continuing producing cooling all the year round, waste heat could be collected and heat other spaces, the supermarket is added to balance the heating and cooling consumption of the building in order to achieve energy neutral. Based on the goal of energy neutrality, my technical research examines utilizing energy waste flow between each function and using renewable energy such as human energy. I follow the instruction of three stepped strategy including reducing energy consumption in building scale,reusing residual energy stream, and generating energy sustainability. My research paper analysed space heating, cooling, heating for domestic hot water and electricity for lighting of each space first. Then, it provides guidance for approximately size and arrangement of each function space. As a result of my research, the building needs a large number of PV and PV-T panels to which would be difficult to realize. As a result, the building could reach nearly zero energy

No full textRecent years, several developments are visible within the theatre sector. Most theatre-organisations throughout the Netherlands cope with the same challenges. Revenues are decreasing and the very limited use of the theatre buildings is an issue. The buildings should be used in a different way by their users. In many cases, theatre organisations see an expansion of the hospitality function as an answer to these financial and social challenges. The organisations aim to (1) gain more revenues, (2) transform their building into a “living room of the city” and (3) improve the “theatre experience” for visitors of the performing arts. However, in the end the synergy between theatre- and hospitality-organisations turn out to be very complex and it does not always lead to added value to both organizations. A new procesmodel is presented in this research; the theatre-real-estate-strategy-model. The model provides guidance to theatre organizations in four areas: the structure of the process (“WHEN”), content (“WHAT”), involvement (“WHO”) and useful tools (“HOW”). The model is based on a literature study to the real estate management theory, the projectmanagement theory and the procesmanagement theory. This led a theoretical framework. Based on this framework, two casestudies are carries out to gain insights from practice
The organisational structures of the CRE department: A research into five multinational firms
No full textAlthough many studies have been performed into the practical aspects of Corporate Real Estate Management (CREM), other aspects are less addressed. Therefore, this research aims to contribute to the field of knowledge concerning the configuration of the CRE department and to the decision-making processes of firms regarding this configuration, by the recording and analysing of the organisational structures of CRE departments of five multinationals in the period since the turn of the century to now. The researched case firms are Ahold (Delhaize), Akzo Nobel, ING Group, Philips, and Shell. The research consists of a case analysis supplemented by an archival review and qualitative interviewing with CRE professionals of the case firms. The case analysis is performed by means of a self-developed Analysis Framework which is based on the assumption that the organizational structure of the CRE department consists of three variables: the ‘position’ of the CRE department within its firm, the ‘form’ of the CRE department and the ‘sourcing’ of CRE activities. Additionally, between the level of that of the entire firm and that of the CRE department, the variable ‘role’ is positioned. Although this variable cannot be appointed as a structural variable, it does say something about how the organizational structure of the CRE department is put into meaning. The results of the case analyses were compared in a cross-case analysis which showed that although many similarities exist between the organizational structures of the researched CRE departments, they all differ and moreover, have changed throughout the researched period. <br/
Safe Haven: providing a high ground when water rises
No full textThe water tax in the Netherlands provides the funding for all the water management in the Dutch deltas. In the US there is no such tax, this means funding big civil projects may be problematic and not so easy. Therefore it is necessary to explore smaller scale solutions for the problem of sea level rise. In the San Francisco bay area, there are many communities which are prone to flooding in the near future. Some of these communities have a high social vulnerability for disasters like flooding. This means preparing and recovering from flooding’s(or earthquakes) proves to be very difficult for the communities. That is what this project is about, providing a small scale safe location and give the opportunity to decrease the social vulnerability in these communities.The solution that is suggested is a terp(dutch) on with people can flee when the area is about to flood. On this hill a school and community centre are located. The school functions in times of need as an evacuation centre and provides food and drinking water to its inhabitants. <br/

Centro de Cuentapropismo - Incubating Cuban Entrepreneurship
No full textThe project focused on the design of educational facilities and commercial spaces for Cuba’s emerging micro-entrepreneurs, which are considered by many as the face of Cuba’s growing economic prosperity, and forerunners of change. The aim of the project was to derive a highly contextual proposal rooted on relevant thematic research both in Cuba and abroad
KeramiekFabriek: Design for a ceramics centre in Maastricht
No full textThe thesis, consisting of a design for a ceramics centre in Maastricht, deals with two main themes: the urban institution and the local use of natural stone. Architectural research focuses on (in)formality and visual perception of historical domestic façades in Maastricht featuring natural stone. The results of this study are used as a design tool to shape the identity of the ceramics centre as an open, inviting and approachable public institution. The local language of building with natural stone is translated into a contemporary form using precast concrete elements. Urban massing, structure, materiality and organisation of the programme are informed by a research into Maastricht’s industrial heritage, specifically its inner-city factory complexes. A tripartite load-bearing structure and spatial experience offer a variety of atmospheres to showcase the production of ceramics and shed light on Maastricht’s disappearing industrial past.Maastricht, City of Ston
Gathering through water integration: Integrating water and its natural cycles in a hotel building design for 'Het Marineterrein' in Amsterdam
No full textDuring the Paris climate conference in December 2015, 195 different countries recognized the dangers of climate change. One of the key points on which the participants of this conference agreed on was that cities should built resilience against the effects of climate change. The changing climate has amongst others major consequences for water systems. In a country such as the Netherlands – which is extremely vulnerable to the consequences of flooding – water should be treated and used differently according to J.M. de Vries, former Secretary of State for Transport, Public Works and Water Management, in order to keep the Netherlands safe and livable. The climate will change considerably in the coming decades. Cities and their buildings will be affected. My graduation focuses on how water can be treated differently within the built environment related to climate change resilience. As project location, I have chosen 'Het Marineterrein' in Amsterdam. This area belongs to the Royal Navy until 2018. In this year, the Navy will leave and the area will be open for redevelopment from then on. My research on how water and its natural cycles can be integrated into a hotel building leads to a design of a bio hotel for 'Het Marineterrein', in Amsterdam. Within the hotel building and its surroundings water is purified, recycled and harvested. The hotel is an inspirational place for hotel guests, visitors and locals, where people can learn about water treatment related to climate change and where they can share their ideas and thoughts about the subject.Architectural EngineeringArchitecture, Urbanism and Building Science
Smart campus tools: Adding value to the university campus by measuring space use real-time
No full textPurpose: The objective of corporate real estate management is to optimally attune corporate accommodation to organisational performance. At universities, the dynamic process to match supply and demand is often hindered by difficulties in the allocation and use of space. This is a challenge for the Dutch universities and perhaps also European universities, which own large and ageing real estate portfolio’s in need of (re)investment: how can universities invest their resources as effectively as possible and not in space that will be poorly used? The purpose of this paper is to explore the use of smart campus tools to improve space use on campus. Design/methodology/approach: First, a survey at 13 Dutch universities is conducted, consisting of a questionnaire and semi-structured interviews with Dutch campus managers. Then, semi-structured interviews are held with a number of parties in other industries to explore the use of smart tools in other contexts. Findings: The universities’ demand for smart tools is mainly directed at the automatic and continuous collection of real-time space use data for education spaces and giving students insight into the availability of study places on campus. The tools at the Dutch universities focus largely on effectiveness: helping their users in their search to find a space that supports their activities. In other industry sectors, the results suggest that the use of smart tools is more directed towards efficiency: maximizing the use of existing space or optimising the operations of the organisation. Originality/value: Although the use of smart tools in practice has gained significant momentum in the past few years, research on the subject is still sparse. By providing a framework for smart tools, as well as exploring the work done in theory and in practice, the authors hope to increase discussion and research on the subject from the perspective of corporate real estate.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.CRE Strategic Portfolio ManagementReal Estate Managemen
