Half of the medium-size cities of France are slowly disappearing. From social and economical weaknesses, they experience a rang of symptoms such as shrinkage, urban decay, ageing and impoverished populations that directly impact their spatial qualities and their very own identity. They need a spatial …

Over my time spent at the Academy, I discovered the value of the public realm in the shaping of cities. With the high pressure on new housing areas, the quality of life in the city is becoming increasingly important, and along with this, the layout and the use of the public domain. Museums and other …

tract Micro wind turbines can be structurally integrated on top of the solid base of noise barriers near highways. A number of performance factors were assessed with holistic experiments in wind tunnel and in the field. The wind turbines underperformed when exposed in yawed flow conditions. The theoretical …

from the article: "In the past decades, industrial design practice has broadened from designing (mass-)products towards e.g. the design of services, experiences and systems. With this broadening, it is questionable how models of design processes still fit todays’ industrial design practice. By means …

This paper assesses wind resource characteristics and energy yield for micro wind turbines integrated on noise barriers. An experimental set-up with sonic anemometers placed on top of the barrier in reference positions is realized. The effect on wind speed magnitude, inflow angle and turbulence intensity …

Wereldwijd wordt er gesproken over klimaatveranderingen en de gevolgen daarvan. Elk land heeft er op zijn eigen manier mee te maken en zoekt er geschikte oplossingen voor. Droogte, wateroverlast, hittestress zijn een aantal onderdelen waar we mee te maken hebben. Vooral in stedelijk gebied is er vraag …

Presentation on the principles of impact measurement as an emergent flow for participative art projects

Lezing over het meten van de impact van participatieve kunstprojecten

Our planet’s ecology and society are on a collision course, which manifests due to a contradiction in the assumptions of unlimited material growth fueling the linear economic paradigm. Our closed planetary ecosystem imposes confined amounts of space and a finite extent of resources upon its inhabitants. …
