Toch zijn er zes minder bekende factoren waar bedrijven rekening mee houden bij het ontwerp van hun distributienetwerken.

This article explores how the combination of research approaches in Research Through Design (RTD) can contribute to generating applicable urban design knowledge. The article is based on learnings from the ‘Really cooling water bodies in cities’ project, a pragmatist RTD combining post-positivist, constructivist …

Since it is insufficiently clear to urban planners in the Netherlands to what extent design measures can reduce heat stress and which urban spaces are most comfortable, this study evaluates the impact of shading, urban water, and urban green on the thermal comfort of urban spaces during hot summer afternoons. …

Beyond the potential of new layers of urban infrastructure - sensor-laden networks, big data, artificial intelligence - to optimize cities functionally, lay promising opportunities to also use these technologies for new forms of social interactions. In an ongoing smart city development project, we explore …

Speech interactions are often associated with virtual assistants and smart home devices, designed primarily for private contexts. A less developed domain is speech interfaces in public contexts. In a smart city development project, we explored the potential of distributed conversational speech interfaces …

Purpose - This paper aims to explain the influence of facility design on urban quality of life from the perspective of students' research. The outcome of this paper is to determine the influence of facility management (FM) on the quality of life to citizens in the city of The Hague by actively using …

Current heatwaves prove that the Dutch architecture and urbanism cannot cope with climate change. What are applicable design principles that will make Dutch neighborhoods heatproof? Cool Space targets the city center of the Hague, one of the most suffering cities of heat island effects in the Netherlands. …

Sarajevo is a stratification of urban, historical and cultural diversities. The goal of this project is to unfold and visualize history through the power of Architecture. The historic landscapes of Sarajevo is a manifesto of the city, tribute to its variegated history an invitation to travel through …
