H.H. Beltman: Natuursteencollecties deel 7
No full textDeel 6 over natuursteencollecties ging over de collectie ir. J.H. Beltman bij het Mineralogisch-Geologisch Museum (MGM) van de TU Delft en hoe deze collectie met 222 marmers terug te voeren valt op de steenhouwerij en machinale fabriek van marmerwerken H.H. Beltman uit Deventer. In deel 7 gaat universitair docent Heritage & Technology en natuursteenspecialist Wido Quist van de TU Delft dieper in op dit bedrijf aan de hand van een in 1907 opgemaakte inventaris van het hele bedrijf en ook op het tweede deel van de inventaris van de collectie.Heritage & Technolog
System-embedded Intelligence in Architecture
No full textFounded on the imperative to understand, evaluate and consciously decide about the use of digital media in architecture this research not only aims to analyze and critically assess computer-based systems in architecture, but also proposes evaluation and classification of digitally driven architecture through procedural- and object-oriented studies. It, furthermore, introduces methodologies of digital design, which in-corporate intelligent computer-based systems proposing development of prototypical tools to support the design process.

Design-to-Robotic-Production and -Operation for Activating Bio-Cyber-Physical Environments
No full textWith current advancements in Cyber-physical Systems (CpS), data-driven design to both production and operation processes has been increasingly incorporating aspects of robotics and Artificial Intelligence (AI). These aspects are the focus of architectural exploration implemented in the Robotic Building lab at Technical University (TU) Delft using Design-to-Robotic-Production and -Operation (D2RP&O) methods. In the presented project implemented in collaboration with the Landscape Architecture and Informatics departments from TU Delft and the University of Fribourg, respectively, new habitats are developed for various animal and plant species by introducing small-scale interventions in residual space. The intention for these inserts is to support biodiversity by engaging humans in interaction with them and each other. In this context, the inserts are not only produced by computational and robotic means, but they also contain sensor–actuator mechanisms that allow humans to interact with them by establishing bio-cyber-physical feedback loops. The aim is to identify the challenges and potential of such systems to improve spatial experience, increase social interaction, as well as support biodiversity, in urban environments.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.

Design-to-Robotic-Production and Operation
No full textThe development of physical and computational mechanisms aimed at augmenting architectural environments has been one of the foci of research implemented at the Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment, Delft University of Technology (TUD) for more than a decade. This paper presents the integration of distributed responsive climate control into the built environment based on Design-to-Robotic-Production and -Operation (D2RP&O) principles. These connect computational design with robotic production and operation of buildings. In the presented case study structural elements meet load-bearing as well as functional requirements. Their spatial arrangement creates variable densities for accommodating sensor-actuators that are operating heating and cooling. This mechatronic operation relies on activity recognition for achieving responsive climate control in the built-environment.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.Architectural Engineerin
Implications of Robotics and AI in Architecture
No full textRobotic systems are increasingly incorporated into building processes and buildings. The question for the future is thus not if but how robotic systems will be integrated into architecture and the built environment. Such systems have a major impact due to the convergence of multiple technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), large-scale machine-to-machine and human-to-machine communication (M2M and H2M), and the Internet of Things (IoT). Implications are explored and presented in this section in relationship to historical and theoretical interpretations and current manifestations by presenting ongoing research implemented at institutions such as McGill and Cornell Universities from North America, Technical University Delft from Europe, and the Chinese University of Hong Kong from Asia.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.

ARCHTCTR 2.0: Phyrtual Space: A personal fluid architectural interface between the virtual and the physical
No full textEverything is getting more and more connected nowadays. Information in all kinds of different media are being digitized and made available increasingly global and widespread by the development of computers and the internet in the last three decades. This enabled the explosive growth of a hyperlinked network of information. By the increasing connectedness of technologies people, buildings and geography are added to this hyperspace. Just look at the emergence of online social networks (like myspace, facebook, etc.), mobile communication, the Global Position System (GPS), Geographic Information Systems (think of Google Earth) and more and more advanced logistic management using coupled databases (like amazon.com) in the last few years. The ever growing network now contains stuff in both the 'virtual world' and the physical world. In Archtctr2.0 the spatial language of architecture is used to visualize and navigate the immense network connecting information, people and geography. An architecture is created in real-time to let you explore your network of friends, information, people; almost everything. The nature of the project is of experimental research. The main question is: Can a spatial (architectural) 'interface help us making sense of the ever growing complexity of people and information around us? And if it can; how do we design these spaces and this interface? The challenge lies in both the technical as in the 'psychological'; how do we 'help' people navigating, browsing, structuring, searching the network around us?Architectur
Commuter Retreat: A refuge in the middle of rush-hour
No full textThe 'Commuter Retreat' project was developed in the context of the Border Conditions graduation studio. This studio emphasizes on an experimental approach to architecture, based on the development of specific techniques of representation to describe specific urban and architectural phenomena. The first part of the studio focuses on the urban investigation of a specific city and the second part consist of an architectural design, derived from the discourse developed in the first part of the studio. The design of the Commuter Retreat is based on the notions of flow, movement, connectivity and the network as a basic means of notating these phenomena. The design was generated from these notions and aims to test these notions as architectural tools by means of 3D computer modeling with Nurbs surfaces. This is crucial, as these surfaces are defined in space by vectors, which have a specific speed and direction, rather than by points, which are static. This type of modeling is fundamental to a different way of thinking about and dealing with 3 dimensional spaces, which can now be based on movement and transformation rather than stasis. Based on this generative approach to the generation of 3 dimensional spatial models, an architectural model for a Health Centre that connects an Underground subway station to an Elevated train station is developed. The design deals with the genesis of architectural form from the notions of network, flow and movement by translating these into specific shapes through vector based Nurbs modeling. A four-directional grid, or Diagrid, is used to control the deformation of the Nurbs surfaces to accommodate specific programmatic requirements. The project researches parametric construction development and the use of file-to-factory techniques to create physical representations of the computer model. By means of project of simple construction elements on complex 3 dimensional surfaces, the computer calculates the parametric deformation of these elements, which data can in turn be used to control the CNC machinery that manufactures these unique elements.Architectur
