Making Architecture: a mediation approach to rethinking design-use relations in architectural design KU Leuven
Making architecture: the agency of designers, users and artefacts in architectural design
It has long been recognized that our ways of living and being are closely linked with the built environment. Humans make buildings and spaces – through design and through use. And in turn buildings and spaces make us: they co-shape our experiences and practices. Although architects are generally well aware of ...

Experiential Learning of Structures through Computational Design : Developing Structural Insight for Architecture Students KU Leuven
The instructional methods of teaching structures to the architecture students are not well adapted to the design education. While instructional methods involve an engineering and formula-based approach, constructivist approaches such as experiential learning can be provided for architecture and design students to develop higher-order thinking skills on the behaviors of structures. Experimenting physically with the variations within a ...

Emerging Ecologies & Urban Design: Exploring the potential role of alternative relationships between nature and culture in the design of socio-ecological coastal landscapes in the littoral zone of the west coast of Sweden. KU Leuven
Central in the contemporary debate of urban political ecology is a questioning of the hegemonic notion of nature and the relationship between nature and culture (Tzaninis, Mandler, Kaika and Keil 2020). A significant argument in this debate is that the common notion of nature is an aesthetic socio-cultural construct, driven by our cultural heritage and need to understand, relate to and control our environment, that thus, only exists in our ...
Opto-thermal modelling & design of quantum-dot-on-chip LEDs KU Leuven
In lighting and display technology, quantum dots can bring the combined benefit of enhanced performance and reduced power consumption, and lead to tailored-spectrum-by-design light sources. The goal of this PhD research encompasses both the modelling, design and realization of optimized quantum-dot-on-chip LEDs for different applications including LED displays, general lighting and specialty lighting (horticulture, architectural). To design ...
