Design for wellbeing in architecture and interior architecture: Educating future designers on ageing well in place Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Less Vision, More Senses. Towards a More Multisensory Design Approach in Architecture. (Less vision, more senses. Naar een meer multisensoriële ontwerpbenadering in architectuur.) KU Leuven
The built environment is often designed with a visual appreciation or function in mind, to such an extent that some attribute a visual bias to architecture and architectural practice. A possible explanation for this visual bias can be found in the widespread use of visualisation techniques and the underrepresented human body in architects design process. However, we interact with the built environment using our entire body and all of its senses. ...
Study and Design of a Reusable Embedded Hardware Architecture for Secure Wireless Communication (Studie en ontwerp van een herbruikbare ingebedde hardware architectuur voor veilige draadloze communicatie) KU Leuven
The proliferation of wireless embedded devices and the boom of related applications have set design engineers the difficult task of supporting security for these emerging applications. This encompasses hiding a user's sensitive data, safeguarding his privacy and authenticating communicating parties as well as the data that is being exchanged. Implementing these security measures in an embedded context requires a multidisciplinary approach and ...

Design for Human Flourishing: a novel design approach for a more 'humane' architecture Hasselt University
Architects today still highly rely on intuition attempting to handle more emotional, well-being-related design requests of clients. It seems that newly formed design demands present challenges that cannot be fully answered through the current existing design paradigms. Additionally, a ‘humanization’ trend in architectural design can be noticed of influences that steer architecture on a more ‘humane’ course, thereby advocating the viability of ...

A multispecies design approach in the Eure valley. Three lessons from a design studio in landscape architecture. KU Leuven
The current state of our planet gives rise to a range of new perspectives in the environmental humanities that take “multispecies” viewpoints into account. These voices are often framed as “more-than-human” research, as they criticize the deeply anthropocentric worldviews that fuel environmental degradation and acknowledge the imbricated nature of humans and nonhumans. This article reflects on a design studio as an attempt to translate often ...
