No full textGeneral file description
This xlsx document contains the literature list that forms the basis of the paper 'A Survey of Methods and Input Data Types for House Price Prediction' by Geerts, M., vanden Broucke, S. and De Weerdt, J. The Excel document contains seven sheets, relating to the phases described in the survey.
Phase3
This sheet contains the literature list for the end of Phase 2 and the start of Phase 3. It has 590 rows and 19 columns. Each row contains the citation information of one article. The columns describe the ID, Authors, Title, Year, Source title, Volume, Issue, DOI, ISSN, ISBN, PubMed, Publisher, Document Type, Language, Keywords, Link, Book DOI, Algorithmic (Title) and Algorithmic (Abstract). The latter two columns are used to indicate whether the articles describe an algorithmic approach to predict house prices based on the title and the abstract respectively. These two columns take the values 'Yes', 'No', and 'Maybe', and were completed during Phase 3.
Phase4
This sheet contains the literature list for the end of Phase 3 and the start of Phase 4. It has 116 rows and 20 columns. Each row contains the citation information of one article. The columns describe the ID, Authors, Title, Year, Source title, Volume, Issue, DOI, ISSN, ISBN, PubMed, Publisher, Document Type, Language, Keywords, Link, Book DOI, Algorithmic (Title), Algorithmic (Abstract) and Reading. All columns are the same as in the first sheet, except for the three last columns. The columns Algorithmic (Title) and Algorithmic (Abstract) now only contain the value 'Yes' as only the articles that describe an algorithm are retained in Phase 3. The column Reading describes the outcome of Phase 4. This columns is empty if the article is retained in this phase and describes the reason if it is not retained.
Phase4(end)
This sheet contains the literature list for the end of Phase 4. It has 94 rows and 20 columns. Each row contains the citation information of one article. The columns describe the ID, Authors, Title, Year, Source title, Volume, Issue, DOI, ISSN, ISBN, PubMed, Publisher, Document Type, Language, Keywords, Link, Book DOI, Algorithmic (Title), Algorithmic (Abstract) and Reading. All columns are the same as in the second sheet. The column Reading is now empty because the articles that were not retained in Phase 4 are removed from the list.

The Re-Exploration Of Territory
No full textThe Re-Exploration Of Territory. It takes centuries for a natural landscape to be formed while it only takes decades to replace this for an urban landscape. Since the Industrial revolution mankind has found new ways to demand more and more natural territory, transforming it into human territory. Especially in areas where excessive industrial methods have been used to dig for non-renewable energy resources, scars become visible in the landscape representing the exhaustion of nature. One of the primary most valuable fossil fuels is coal, the black gold. Throughout the world several places have turned into machine like landscapes to dig for coal, supported by thousands if not millions of mineworkers, to bring it up all the way from the deep dark earth into the light of day. But as soon as these natural reserves are running out factories will close resulting directly in a radical decrease of employment. Introducing a new era, in which cities are left with critical and unattractive conditions full of abandoned factories and old mining sites that uninterrupted continue the process of decay leaving its inhabitants without any hope for the future. While the history of these cities is reminded as negative and black due to the huge amount of human labour the future perspective nowadays looks even darker. Belgium is one of the countries where an industrial backbone with a huge image problem as a result of the coal mines can be found. The Walloon region located in the middle of Belgium stretching east to west over 200 km is even referred to as the "Black Country." In areas like these territory, from an architectural point of view, becomes not only ambiguous but also scaleless. A successful operation with the goal to reactivate such a large region with an architectural intervention seems completely out of reach far away from the reality of today. It is not only the huge dimension of the area that is, on almost every visible scale, screaming for a gigantic intervention but also the present depressed atmosphere which on a psychological level makes it even harder to handle. There is no escape possible since every element that reminds of this history whether it is an abandoned mine site, railway, waterway or the hills of waste coal present throughout the landscape form a painful confrontation with reality. And this is exactly the problem, the presence of the ghost of history roaming around the Walloon region, leaving an architect completely unable, due to its largeness and extensiveness, to set any serious goal for revival or recovering. While a solution for the WHOLE area is more than needed to create new possibilities with a positive perspective for the future. As often the solution for this problem is housed in the problem itself in which the extensiveness of the mine sites is to play a key role as a starting point to create a fragmentized impact throughout the region. Another main issue is concerning the architectural way of thinking. While architecture itself is often set to be the goal it is an useless concept as such in this case, since the ultimate goal is revival of the region. Architecture has to suit itself in the role as tool, forming a guide to achieve a higher goal. Let us return to the ambiguity of territory, in which 'terra' the Latin word for 'land' is housed. Looking back at the industrial mining landscape in which nature had to cope with severe loss and damage. While the manmade urban landscape is left to the devolution of time the natural landscape, despite all the destruction and loss, has the ability to restore and renew itself. And this is not only opening up new possibilities but it is also creating a new dimension in the problem of territory. Nature created coal – Humans remove coal and leave traces behind – Nature returns and evolves on the old remains. Within this struggle an interesting subject can be found on or near the old mine sites, hills made by man existing out of waste coal (trash). These hills, called Terrils, are closely related to nature but are created by man. To which territory do they belong? Decades after the closure of the first mines these Terrils are the first to be taken back by nature. Evolving, as green archipelagos, clearly present as fragments within the industrial landscape. They house the answer of revival, a huge potentiality, but can it be explored?Studio Public TerritoryPublic BuildingArchitectur

An architectural Infrastructure
No full textThe project takes place in the Walloon region, one of the most profoundly shaped by industrialization in Europe starting from the 19th century, in particular by coke mining and steel industry. On a big scale we have the so called “Dorsale”, a linear city shaped by the transportation infrastructures, which was the rivers Sambre and Meuse (Maas) before, the railway afterwards and eventually the highway. On the very local scale the territory is obviously characterized by the huge industrial structures remained from the glorious past and the notorious terills, cone-shaped mining waste piles which can reach the considerable height of more than 150 m. The location I chose for my project is the resume of these aspects of Wallonia I introduced. The area is lying on the spine and there is now here an industrial area with the freight logistic Hub of Chrleroi-Chatelet. Moreover we have the biggest terill of Charleroi with 170 meters of height difference and an amazingly big abandoned industrial hall which could be one of the seven wonders of industrial architecture. When I went to visit the place I climbed up the terill and from there it was immediately clear the dichotomy between the city on one side of the Sambre and, on the other side, the hilly countryside of Wallonia. The industrial area is in the middle. It is like a wall separating the city from the river and the countryside on the other side. So I thought why not build up a scenario in which I have to redesign this industrial area and freight logistic hub in a way that is not separating but connecting the city to the river and the other bank of it, integrating it in the landscape, eventually making the infrastructure an architecture. Important to me was also keeping in my project the old industrial hall, not only as witness of the past, but also as a proof that these kind of buildings can be reused and create new quality.Public Territory - Territory in TransitArchitectureArchitectur
Architectuur van het productielandschap: Afvalwaterzuivering - landbouw - brouwerij
No full textNa de inpoldering van het Haarlemmermeer halverwege de 19e eeuw was de polder een groot productielandschap. Hier is weinig van overgebleven. Een groot deel van de polder is volgebouwd en het landbouwgebied dat er nog is staat onder druk, niet op de laatste plaats vanwege het zilte water dat omhoog komt en problematisch is voor de landbouw. Met het ontwerp voor een productielandschap in de wig tussen de Schiphollijn en de HSL wordt er nadruk gelegd op de processen die de maatschappij draaiende houden. De gekozen processen zijn bovendien gekoppeld aan de waterproblematiek in de Haarlemmermeerpolder. Afvalwater van het stedelijk gebied wordt aan de grens van het grootste probleemgebied (peilvak 9) gezuiverd en kan vervolgens voor de landbouw gebruikt worden, zodat er veel minder zoet water van buiten de polder nodig is. Dit wordt zichtbaar gemaakt in het landschap, zowel op de schaal van de snel passerende treinreiziger als op de schaal van de fietser die alles op zijn gemak kan bekijken. De landbouwproducten worden op hun beurt weer gebruikt in de brouwerij annex café-restaurant, een gebouw waarin de stappen van het brouwproces duidelijk te zien zijn. De schaal van het gebouw probeert zowel aan te sluiten op de schaal van het productielandschap - met een erf als tussenliggend element - als op de schaal van de gebruikers van het gebouw.

Amalgam Park: The coalescence of recreation and water treatment: Public bath house with swimming pool complex, water purification facility and marsh park in Havana.
No full textProblem statement: Historically, water had been extracted from some of Cuba’s major aquifers at a higher rate than they were recharged, but in recent years the pace of water extraction appears to have intensified. Surface waters diverted into man-made reservoirs can interfere with the natural recharge of aquifers. High evaporation rates from tropical region reservoirs can have adverse environmental impacts by increasing the concentration of minerals in irrigation water. Surface waters have been contaminated by industrial wastes and by the chemical runoff associated with the use of increasing amounts of chemical pesticides and herbicides. Scant water distribution management, alarming condition of infrastructure together with high contamination of water resources constitute a scenario, where the need of establishing elementary infrastructure for water treatment opens possibilities to reformulate the image of infrastructure as a by-product of settlement and to relate it to its public role and use, as well as to the whole ecological process. The area of Puentes Grandes district in Havana character calls for fully specified design; sufficiently open to integrate recreational dynamics of natural ecosystems. Goal: The intention is to design beyond the polarized situation where architecture and landscape can be included as systems in an urban design. In the city scale the design solution should aggregate the development of neighbourhood of river Almendares banks and enforce its natural ecosystems. In the more local scale, design intention is to develop a formula capable of fusing previously separated morphologies of industrial production, hydrological infrastructure and public, green, recreation area. Method description: Finding self-referential accommodation in a landscape that has lost its coherence; examining the site in order to discover possible rules for intervention; rediscover the landscape with its critical properties. Use landscape as both structuring element and medium for rethinking urban conditions, to produce everyday urban spaces and architectural solutions. Relevance: Take the floor in discussion concerning the issue of how dense urban forms emerge from landscape and how urban ecologies support performance spaces. Search for new basis for emergence of form geared to the technological and ecological realities of the contemporary city.ArchitectureArchitectur
