This annual report has the intention to provide you with the necessary facts and figures on the De-

partment of Urbanism. Who are we and what have we been doing in 2012?

The report gives insight in the diversity in research and education we deliver. Individual employees of

the department from different sections work together in research projects and in educational cours-

es. The common goal of combining was the goal for 2012: - planning and design, - urban, architecture

and landscape, - theory and practice. This broad approach is characteristic for our department, and

forms the basis of our positioning in the outside world. With this approach, we are a unique Urban-

ism group; by far the biggest in the Netherlands, more and more successful in international projects.

I hope this overview will help you to understand our Department of Urbanism in the context of our

Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment.

Machiel van Dorst

Chairman

The epartment of Urbanism is one of the five departments of the Faculty of Architecture of Delft Uni-

versity of Technology. With 31 academic staff members, 48 teachers/researchers, 32 PhD candidates,

7 support staff and 200 MSc. students it aims at contributing to the livability of cities and landscapes.

Established in 1948 the department is now internationally leading in research and education in the

urban environment and in the design and planning interventions in the processes of continuing

urbanization and urban transformation.

The department provides education at BSc., MSc., Postgraduate and PhD. level closely interwoven

with the Urbanism research programme.

Research in the department is carried out in one Urbanism research programme, which is divided in

four research groups:

- Randstad Spatial Planning: strategic spatial planning and design

- U-lab: urban design and support tools

- Urban Landscape Architecture and Environmental Design

- The Why Factory

The Bachelor’s degree programme in Architecture is a broad study programme, in which all the disci-

plines are represented; Urbanism and Landscape Architecture are also a part of it.

In order to contain the large numbers of first-year student applications, a numerus clausus was

introduced in 2011, with a maximum number of available places set at 450. A procedure of decentral-

ised selection was added to this in 2012, whereby prospective students can qualify to be among the

90 highest scoring students by means of a number of tests and thereby becoming exempt from the

procedure. These measures have indeed had the effect of decreasing the number of applications.

As a result, quality assurance can continue to be safeguarded and programme drop-out rates are

expected to fall.

The table below shows that the number of first-year students has almost halved in the last two years.

This will also have been influenced by the economic crisis which also affected the building sector.

This decrease can also be seen for the first time in 2012 in the total number of BSc students.

The number of students attaining P-in-1 (first–year diploma in one year) has improved significantly

in the last five years, from 12 to 40%. This is also the case with BSc.-in-4 (Bachelor’s in four years),

which has increased to 40% in 2008 (it was still only 10% in 2004). Furthermore, the number of BSc.

diplomas has increased.

The drop-out rate for the BSc. programme after three years has been at approximately 30% for many

years now. This is expected to decrease as a result of the measures taken.

2012 was also marked by the renewal of the entire Bachelor’s programme. A great effort was made by

many staffmembers in 2012 to increase the quality, study practicability and efficiency of the curricu-

lum in order to counter the fragmentation of and overlap between subjects, to reduce the number of

learning paths from fifteen to six and to increase cohesion and cooperation. The new programme will

be introduced in all of the three years simultaneously in the autumn of 2013. This means that students

will be able to graduate more easily within the nominal study period.

In particular, Henco Bekkering, Stefan van der Spek, Maarten Jan Hoekstra, Remon Rooij and Leo

van den Burg from Urbanism contributed greatly to the BSc renewal.

The fields of urbanism and/or landscape architecture will be addressed in all semesters of the new

BSc. curriculum, namely in the modules: BK1GR1, BK1ON1, BK2GR2, BK2AC1, BK3TE4, BK3ON3,

BK3GR3, BK4AC2, BK4GR4, BK6ON5 and BK6MA3. Module BK3ON3 is 100% Urbanism. All other

modules are in collaboration with other disciplines.

The quality of the curriculum was not the only focus; investment was also made in teaching quality in

2012. Many of the Urbanism lecturers worked on attaining the Basic Teaching Qualification (UTQ) in

order to improve their educational and didactic skills.

At the same time, part of staff members’ attention in 2012 was occupied with the education visitation

of the Bachelor’s programme and the associated requisite self-evaluation. The visit by the visita-

tion committee took place in October 2012 and was chaired by Paul Peter Kohnstamm (professor

emeritus of Real Estate Studies at the University of Amsterdam). The committee assessed the three

standards ‘intended learning outcomes: good’, the ‘teaching and learning environment: good’ and the

‘assessment and achieved learning outcomes: satisfactory’. The general conclusion was satisfac-

tory. The committee shared the programme’s concern about pass rates being too low and supported

the above-mentioned measures taken.

The Bachelor’s programme is given in Dutch. In addition, a number of minors are occasionally of-

fered in English. In 2012, the minors provided by Urbanism or with an important contribution from

Urbanism were:

- Green Blue City – Future proof neighbourhoods

- Sensing the City (together with Geomatics OTB)

- Landschapsarchitectuur (Landscape Architecture)

- Identiteit en Interventie (Identity and Intervention)

- Urbanism-oriented internship minor.

The Faculty of Architecture has one Master’s programme, the MSc. in Architecture, Urbanism and

Building Sciences. Students choose one of the five specialised Master’s tracks in Architecture,

Urbanism, Landscape Architecture, Building Technology or Real Estate & Housing. The programs are

offered in English. The Urbanism department provides the tracks in Urbanism and Landscape Archi-

tecture. The education of the Master’s, especially in the graduation studios, is connected as much as

possible to the research programs.

The Architecture Master’s tracks underwent the education visitation at the same time as the Bach-

elor’s programme in 2012. The visitation committee assessed all three assessment standards and

the general conclusion as ‘satisfactory’. The committee recommended paying more attention to the

academic reflection of design for the entire Master’s programme.

Also in 2012, the improvement of teaching quality within the Urbanism track was worked on, through

the participation of lecturers in five selected UTQ modules. An in-depth component of the UTQ, the

Design Teaching training course, is also compulsory for guest and visiting lecturers.

For their graduation projects, Master’s students in Urbanism are able to choose from six studios

which are directly related to the Urbanism department’s research themes.

Graduation Studios Urbanism

- Urban Regeneration in the European Context focuses on new approaches to modernisation

processes taking place in existing urban areas. The aim is to provide a better physical envi

ronment and social and economic opportunities for citizens through a strategic multi-profes

sional approach.

- Complex Cities & Regions in Transformation focuses on giving students an understanding

of cities in a contemporary global context. While all cities participate in the global, they are

also regional in that their everyday functional dimensions take in whole regional areas. Ac

cordingly, the larger scale is given special emphasis in this studio.

- Future Cities (by The Why Factory) concentrates on the production of models and visualiza

tions for future cities. The students are rethinking, researching, reshaping and enhancing the

image of future urban life.

- Design as Politics deals with the role of city politics, urbanism and architecture. Ultimately

the studio is not just about making a spatial design, but also about developing a strategy in

which the design is used to reach goals set beforehand.

- Delta Interventions studies the changing relationships between cities and landscapes and the

rise of new types of patterns in the urbanised delta. The aim is to develop relevant designs,

concepts and methods for the composition of future urban landscapes.

- The Veldacademie studio is situated in one of Rotterdam’s regeneration area’s on the south

bank.

- The studio Vertical Cities Asia is a multidisciplinary studio for students of all tracks (U, A,

AE&T, RE&H), which prepares entries for the competition for a sustainable design of an spe

cific urban area in China.

In the autumn of 2012, there were a total of approximately 150 MSc. Urbanism students (85 first-year

and 65 second-year students). Around 50% of these students are from abroad.

The numbers of students in the Urbanism track have increased slightly in recent years (see table

below), a trend which can also be seen in the total number of Architecture Master’s students.

The number of students successfully following the Urbanism track has increased significantly since

2008. 79 MSc students received their diploma in the 2011-2012 academic year. Appendix 1 lists all

MSc. graduates of 2012, including the title of their thesis and the names of their supervisors.

The best graduate of the Urbanism track in 2012 was Jasper Nijveldt, who scored a 10 for his gradu-

ation project: The Wall. Five students graduated with a grade 9 for their final project: S. Golchehr, N.

den Besten, E. Hans, H.P. Kabali and L.E. Smits.

The Wall by Jasper Nijveldt

The Wall is a city model which redefines

borders, just like old medieval Chinese and

European cities, which compels the city into

compaction so that in this way it can create

space for the enormous influx of people

migrating to the city. The execution is based

on the concept that the way people use and

appreciate the environment is influenced

by their perception of space. This is why

the perceptual experience of space is

crucial for urban design. In a theoretical

study, the Chinese perception of space

has been defined, as a means to structure

space (including public space) within the

neighbourhood. The wall as a symbol is the

most important principle. From a bird’s-eye

perspective, this results in a seemingly

chaotic design, but at eye level provides

a clear hierarchy and surprising experi-

ences. Jasper’s supervisor was Prof. Henco

Bekkering

Is integration and empowerment of the

excluded needed? by Saba Golchehr

Not only in the Netherlands but also

worldwide the number of non-Western

migrants is increasing. Moreover in the year

2015 half of the citizens of the four major

cities in the Netherlands will be migrants.

The ethnic concentration in these cities is

experienced as a negative phenomenon.

But how can we diminish these negative

effects with spatial planning and policy?

This question is answered by developing a

participatory planning proposal together

with a design instrument, which could sup-

port the integration and empower migrants

and other disadvantaged groups socially

and spatially in urban restructuring plans in

the Netherlands. Saba’s supervisor was Dr.

Diego Sepulveda.

(EMU)

Landscape Architecture was introduced as a new track in 2010. The current modest number of

teaching staff will be increased as a result of incentive funding from the Executive Board of TU Delft.

Additionally, expertise in the field of ecology will be enlisted from Wageningen.

Student numbers are still small. The first three years saw 12, 9 and 15 students respectively enter the

programme. At present, there are 32 students in total. In 2012, the first two diplomas were awarded.

The relatively small number of students entering the programme – especially in 2011 – is partly due

to the fact that students of Landscape Architecture are still unable to register in the Architects Reg-

ister, necessary for bearing the title of architect or landscape architect. The chair invested a great

deal of time in 2012 in procuring a positive recommendation from the Register. It is now a question of

waiting for the minister concerned to approve an amendment of the Academic Titles (Architects) Act

so that the Master’s track in Landscape Architecture is included in the regulation.

De track knows one graduation studio:

The graduation studio Landscape Architecture explores spatial, societal and environmental is-

sues by design research and research-by-design approaches. It addresses landscape architecture

themes and projects from different perspectives and in various contexts. The theme of the studio is

‘Flowscapes: exploring infrastructural landscapes’ focusing on landscape architectonic design of

transportation-, green-, water- and energy-infrastructures in the urban landscape. It addresses flow

landscapes on different scale levels by design-based case studies involving aesthetic, functional,

social and ecological aspects.

The goal is to welcome 50 students per year in five years.

The European Postgraduate Masters in Urbanism (EMU) ‘Strategies and Design for Cities and Ter-

ritories’ is a joint programme with three partner universities, KU Leuven, IUAV di Venezia and UPC

Barcelona. This international oriented two-year full-time post-master provides a pre-PhD track for

talented and ambitious students, European and non-European. Individual EMU courses are also ac-

cessible for PhD students as element of their obligatory education, and for professionals who want to

improve their skills in the field of urban design, planning or landscape architecture.

In academic year 2012-2013 12 new students began studies. The total number of students in 2012 was

32, including exchange students. In 2012 6 students graduated.

See the table below for numbers in the former years. Until 2 years ago it was possible to start in two

periods, in fall and in spring.

To keep a continuous check on education quality, BSc. and MSc. courses are regularly evaluated by student

‘Semesterscan’ questionnaires.

In the BSc. spring semesterscan 2012 students were positive on the enthusiasm of the teachers and quality

of the teaching material and learned a lot. However, there is room for improvement, especially on organisa-

tion and information. Tuning of courses, balancing study load and partitioning of credit points were the most

important points of attention. With the new BSc. curriculum to be introduced in 2013 the faculty expects

that most of these problems will be solved.

In spring 2012 the semester programme MSc.2 of the MSc. track Urbanism was judged as coherent and stu-

dents were satisfied with the quality of the teachers and contents of the courses. Too little communication

between teachers, assistants and students was mentioned as cause for time problems and work pressure.

Sustainability could be addressed better in this semester.

Regarding the MSc.1 fall 2012 semester of track Urbanism, students were satisfied about the topics of the

R&D studio thanks to their interesting project and location. The teachers were professional and helpful and

the students liked the way of examination. The variation of the different courses was seen as good and inter-

esting. Students judged however time in general and organisation as points of attention.

The new track Landscape Architecture was evaluated in 2012 as well. Students judged the spring MSc.2

semester as coherent and – as the Urbanism track – they were satisfied with their teachers and the content.

Here also the weakest point was the organisation as a whole. But in the fall 2012 MSc.1 semester of this

track, the organisation seemed to be much improved as it was evaluated very close to satisfactory. The fall

2012 MSc.3 semester was judged even better: the coherency, the time for study and reflection, the organisa-

tion, as well as the way the subject of sustainability was addressed in the graduation work, was evaluated

as good.

groups

Cross-cutting

themes

The Urbanism research programme’s core task is to mobilise its multidisciplinary knowledge, skills

and reputation towards the creation of more sustainable living environments. The priority is to con-

tribute solutions to the urgent challenges of urbanisation in the context of climate change.

The Urbanism research programme is arranged into four research groups and eight interdisciplinary

cross-cutting themes.

- Randstad group: strategic spatial planning and design

The Randstad Group is concerned with the spatial development and planning of complex ur-

ban regions like the Randstad Holland. The group investigates its home Randstad region, and

uses this knowledge in mutual learning through international case studies and cross-national

comparison.

- ULAB: Urban Design and support tools

The central domain of the ULAB group is the design and analysis of urban patterns. Chang-

ing conditions result in increasing complexity of the character, development and use of urban

areas. The group is concerned with urban design and changing territorial conditions such as

peak oil, climate change and demographic trends, and their consequences for delta regions.

- Urban landscape architecture and environmental design

The urban landscape group develops historical, theoretical, methodological and technical

knowledge on the urban realm from the perspective of landscape and landscape architecture.

It is concerned with spatial knowledge and the problématique in fields such as urban public

spaces and urban interiors, the landscape structure of cities and the urbanisation of the

(constructed) landscape, in particular, the Dutch lowland landscape.

- The Why Factory

The Why Factory critically addresses the role of the architect in our society. It encourages

closer collaboration with all parties involved in the making of the city. T?F thus raises issues

and questions which concern a variety of disciplines: from philosophy and sociology towards

urban planning, architecture and product design. It wants to enlarge the argumentative power

of the architectural and urbanism profession through activation and direct involvement of

these disciplines in the processing and production of our cities.

- Delta Urbanism

‘Delta Urbanism’ focuses on the need for new approaches in the design

and planning of urbanised delta areas. Deltas need a balance among

different claims and interests, such as urbanisation, port-development,

agriculture, environmental and ecological qualities, flood-de

fence systems and fresh-water supply. Balancing competing claims in

deltas requires new relationships to be forged between design, engi-

neering, science and governance.

- Design of the urban fabric

The goal for the theme is to understand how we can contribute to

making sustainable, attractive and vital urban design. The specific

contribution of the theme is to strengthen urban design as a technical

scientific discipline both in terms of our understanding of the increasing

complexity of urban patterns and the development of tools for profes-

15

OTB

sional practice. This requires an interdisciplinary approach combining

both qualitative and quantitative approaches.

- Metropolitan spatial structures

This theme is concerned with understanding the evolution of metro-

politan spatial structure, and the performance of different regional

spatial structures in terms of economic competitiveness, environmental

sustainability and social wellbeing. It is concerned with linking planning

strategy and practice positively with improved knowledge of spatial

structure and performance.

- Regional governance, planning and design

This theme is concerned with the governance of metropolitan regions

in the context of the increasing complexity and fragmentation of spatial

and institutional relationships. It investigates the role of spatial plan-

ning and regional design in managing regions, especially the Randstad.

- International planning and developing regions

This theme undertakes comparative analysis of varying forms of inter-

vention through spatial planning and territorial management in Europe

and developing regions in the world. There is an emphasis on building

valid methodology for international case studies, comparison and policy

transfer.

- Future city

The Future City theme focuses on the shaping of urban futures and

involves systematic processes for thinking, planning, scripting and

envisioning the future. The theme Future Cities explores technological,

environmental and social aspects and makes use of different perspec-

tives on the future.

- History and heritage vector

The theme takes a historical perspective of urban and landscape devel-

opment and transformation. Increasing attention is given to the role of

cultural heritage and spatial planning and design in a dynamic context.

The Belvedere Program and the recent MoMo (Modernisering

van de Monumentenzorg) initiative have supported and accelerated a

process of contextualisation, democratisation and valorisation of mate-

rial cultural heritage.

- Urban metabolism

This theme is concerned with understanding the metabolism of urban

environments, the relationship to landscape systems theory, and the

performance of different elements, infrastructures and systems, in

relation to the spatial quality, environmental sustainability and

social wellbeing of future cities.

In 2012 Urbanism has further strengthen its links with the OTB Institute for the Built Environment

(note: in June 2013 OTB becomes part – namely the fifth department – of the faculty, whose name

will therefore be changed in Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment)

16

Doctoral study is a significant and successful part of Urbanism’s research output. PhD candidates

carry forward the research agenda of the Urbanism Program and play a major role through publications,

conference contributions and other activities. From 2005 to 2012 60 candidates began PhD studies in

urbanism and 36 have completed.

In 2012 the department introduced a temporary PhD student recruitment discouragement policy to be

able to give running candidates more intensive supervision towards completing their PhD. The faculty

recently encourages supervisors to join supervisor meetings twice a year. Since the beginning of 2012

the Graduate School A+BE supports PhD candidates with services of a PhD mentor, doctoral monitor-

ing application, and educational and training programs.

In 2012 Urbanism hosted 65 PhD candidates. In appendix 2 all PhD candidates and project titles are

listed. In 2012 four new PhD candidates started and eight PhD candidates celebrated their dissertation:

Research projects funded by European and Dutch Science Foundations (2nd money stream)

The Department of Urbanism participated in 2012 in many externally financed projects. The most impor-

tant projects funded by European and Dutch science foundations are:

NODES: New Tools for Design and Operation of Urban Transport Interchanges, EU FP7, Frank van der

Hoeven

The overall objective of NODES is to build a toolbox to support European cities in the design and opera-

tion of new or upgraded interchanges, as a way to provide greater support, services and satisfaction to

the travellers and users, as well as to interchange operators, and those societal and economic actors

depending on the efficiency of interchange operations.

iTOD: Implementing Transit Oriented Development, NWO, Dominic Stead & Verena Balz

Scientists, professionals and policy-makers alike consider the integrated development of urban

places and transport nodes – often referred to as Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) – as a key

strategy for achieving more sustainable urban development. This research aims to address these

implementation problems, building on work already being undertaken by the academic and profes-

sional partners in the research consortium, and combining insights form international experiences

with ‘action oriented’ research involving stakeholders.

Colleagues involved: Dorina Pojani

Climate Proof Flood Risk Management, Kennis voor Klimaat, Han Meyer

The design of adaptation responses to flood risks requires insight in the effectiveness of individual

adaptation measures, such as flexible structures to control water levels and measures to reduce

wave attacks. The main aim of this research programme is to perform an in-depth interdisciplinary

assessment of these innovative types of measures and TU Delft is part of a large consortium tasked

with developing new measures.

Colleagues involved: Anne Loes Nillesen

Coastal Quality Studio 2.0, Netherlands Architecture Fund & coastal provinces, Han Meyer &

Jandirk Hoekstra

The aim of the programme is to bring together and combine long-term visions for the safety of the

Dutch coast, the implementation practice (of provinces, coastal towns and market parties) and the

knowledge of universities and institutes in the field of coastal development. In the Coastal Quality

Studio workshops, various disciplines concerning coastal development are integrated and complex

material is made more accessible for multiple user groups. This is being carried out in five specific

projects and will result in a large-scale coastal event in mid-2013.

Colleagues involved: Inge Kersten, Maike Warmerdan, Remon Pot, Nikki Brand, Linda de Vos

IPDD: Integrated Planning and Design in the Delta, NWO/URD, Han Meyer

The Integrated Planning and Design in the Delta project is working on developing a planning and

design method for urbanised delta regions, intended to result in a transparent and balanced assess-

ment and a combination of the various aspects that play a role in the spatial development of delta

regions. This includes the concern for flood protection, urban development, economic development,

nature conservation, tourism and recreation, and freshwater management.

Urban Challenges - Multifunctional Flood Defences, STW, Han Meyer

The project aims to advance cutting edge scientific knowledge required to meeting the upcoming

challenges for flood mitigation in urban areas brought about by economic and climate change. It

provides a framework for the design and maintenance of multifunctional flood defences that links

comprehensive scientific research with on the ground (re)development projects. The ambition of the

proposed programme is to address these research questions to dissolve the constraints restricting

the discussion of multi-functional flood defences.

Colleagues involved: Peter van Veelen, Nikki Brand

Better Airport Regions, NWO/URD, Arjan van Timmeren & Andy van den Dobbelsteen

This research investigates airport regions of international hub airports. Focus is on the case of

Amsterdam within an international comparative approach with Zurich as main reference case.

The project starts from a joint perspective on essential streams (energy, water, materials, food and

mobility), urban development on the metropolitan level, and governance. The core hypothesis is that

an enhanced reciprocity between the airport and its surrounding metropolitan region can facilitate a

transformation path towards more sustainable airport regions.

Colleagues involved: Egbert Stolk, Alex Wandl

SUME: Sustainable Urban Metabolism, EU F7, Dominic Stead

The concept of urban metabolism helps to understand and analyse how (urban) societies use

resources of the environmental system such as energy and land for maintaining and reproducing

themselves. The built environment as the stock of the urban system is using a substantial portion of

flows being built. Moreover, the spatial qualities of built urban systems - the “urban forms” - have an

impact on the qualities and quantities of resources needed to maintain them subsequently.

The aim is to provide evidence to support future territorial development policies in general and Cohe-

sion Policies that improves regional competitiveness, social inclusion and sustainable and balanced

growth of the European territory in particular. A central goal of the project is to identify and deduce

innovative and promising practices of territorial governance across Europe that shall be synthesised

and disseminated in a policy-relevant ‘Handbook of Territorial Governance’.

Colleagues involved: Alex Wandl

North Sea Star, ESPON, Wil Zonneveld & Verena Balz

ESPON Targeted Analysis relates to sustainable energy in the North Sea Region. The research seeks

to provide recommendations on accelerating the take-up of renewable energy technologies and sup-

porting relevant green economic activities in this region by investigating future energy scenarios,

evaluating the effectiveness of regional energy policies and the relevance of transnational clustering

and assessing the role of cooperation projects.

USE

Research Centre on Urban Systems and Environment is a

major initiative of TU Delft and South China University of

Technology to establish a joint research centre concerned

with creating high quality living environments through

smart urban systems, infrastructure and planning. The

faculties of architecture of each institution are central to

the project which was launched in November 2012. Urban-

ism is a key player in the project in cooperation with the

Faculty of Technology, Policy and Management and the

Faculty of Civil Engineering at TU Delft.

UKNA

The Urban Knowledge Network Asia is a research net-

work funded by the EU IRSES programme and spanning

China, India, Europe and the US and led by the University

of Leiden. It aims to develop more policy-relevant knowl-

edge of urbanisation and ‘urban management’ in Asia, in

the context of the unparalleled growth of Asian cities and

the growing complexity of urban planning.

IFoU

International Forum on Urbanism is a network of 12 uni-

versities and knowledge centres in Asia and Europe that

seeks to strengthen collaboration in the field of urbanism.

TU Delft has played a central role in establishing and

supporting IFOU.

Delta Urbanism and Dutch Dialogues

The Dutch Dialogues workshops are the product of

extended interactions between Dutch engineers, urban

designers, landscape architects, planners and soils and

hydrology experts, together with counterparts in Louisi-

ana, USA. David Waggonner, a local New Orleans archi-

tect, initiated this dialogue with Dale Morris, of the Royal

Netherlands Embassy in Washington DC, and the Ameri-

can Planning Association. The initiative of Waggonner

and Morris stems from their unwavering belief that New

Orleans chhan survive, prosper and grow only when it

gets certain fundamentals in order. Dutch Dialogues

exposes and addresses some of those fundamentals. The

collaboration with the Department of Urbanism resulted

in the book: Meyer, H., Morris, D. & Waggonner, D. (2009).

Urbanism on Track 2012 MOVE workshop & MODAP clinic

In ‘Urbanism on Track’, an international expert network, researchers collect, process, analyse and

visualise tracking data. ‘Application of tracking technologies in urban design’ was the title of the Urban-

ism on Track 2012 (MOVE) workshop/seminar in May 2012 at BK City TU Delft. The aim was to exchange

knowledge on processing, visualisation and interpretation of GPS-tracking data. Central issue of the

workshop was the preparation of the data for application in Urban Design: from raw spatio-temporal

data to accessible and valuable information. In June 2012 a MODAP (FP7 project Mobility, Data Min-

ing and Privacy) interdisciplinary clinic was organised for PhD candidates from ten different institutes

entitled ‘Processing, Analysis & Visualisation of Tracking Data’. The goal of this clinic was to provide

the participants with up-to-date knowledge and skills to store, process and analyse tracking data as a

source of knowledge for understanding movement behaviour of people in relation to their environment.

Initiator of Urbanism on Track and these events is Stefan van der Spek.

22 March 2012

International colloquium ‘Exploring the visual landscape’

Central government, provinces, municipalities, regional water authorities and the business commu-

nity are all working together in this. In this second conference of its kind, with six plenary lectures

and 16 breakout sessions, attendees shared advances in knowledge development, knowledge-based

questions from practical implementation and experiences with the design and management of deltas

abroad. The conference was organised by TU Delft, in collaboration with the staff of the Delta Pro-

gram and with the cooperation of the other universities and knowledge institutions. The event took

place in BK City and was coordinated by Fransje Hooimeijer. The host was Dirk Sijmons.

20 April-7 July 2012

Design as Politics exhibits in the 5th IABR

Theme of the 5th International Architecture Biennale Rotterdam (IABR) was ‘Making City’, accompa-

nied by three so called Test Sites: Sao Paolo, Istanbul and Rotterdam. As part of the biennale, whose

main activities were in NAI, Design as Politics installed her exhibition in the Mini-Mall Hofbogen, a

new collection of shops and galleries inside the recently remodeled former railway station Rotterdam

Hofplein. With this exhibition Design as Politics made both a statement for more political engage-

ment in urbanism and architecture, and a presentation of alternative visions for the three test cities

that are explicitly based on political positions. Chair holder Design as Politics: Wouter Vanstiphout.

13-16 May 2012

Regional Studies Association European Conference 2012

The Department of Urbanism collaborated with the OTB Research Institute on the 2012 RSA

European Conference entitled ‘Networked regions and cities in times of fragmentation: Developing

smart, sustainable and inclusive places’. Keynote speakers were, among others, Professor Sir Peter

Hall, Danuta Hübner and Karl Peter Schön.

Design as Politics and exhibition in the 5th IABR

The chair Design as Politics (DasP) is financed by the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and Environment and the TU

Delft. Chair holder Wouter Vanstiphout was invited to take part in the 5th International Architecture Biennale Rotterdam

(IABR). The work of researchers and students was presented in an exhibition and the publication of book #6 of the Design

and Politics series, “Are We The World?” which focused on the use of urban planning and architecture in reaching urban

political goals. The Dutch Randstad and Rotterdam, Istanbul, Sao Paolo and Detroit were the test cases. The exhibition

was hosted by the recently renovated Mini Mall Hofbogen. In three sections of the inner courtyard of the Mini Mall, using

three different storylines and sets of tools, DasP gave her view on the theme of Making Cities.

1. Damn The Master’s Plan! Riots and Urbanism 1967 - 2011

The deep, but often undervalued, relationships between urban planning and political agendas and ideologies, are

unexpectedly revealed in the analysis of urban riots in post war western cities. Both the race riots in Detroit in 1967,

Justice Riots in Los Angeles in 1992, the French Suburban riots of 2005 and the ‘shopping’ Riots in England in 2011, reveal

how deeply unequal and segregated our cities are. Architecture and urban planning seems to have become a central

means to City Marketing, without acknowledging that the dreams and economic interests of a few, might repress and

exploit masses of people and evoke violent reactions and rioting. “Damn the Master’s Plan!”, was the battle cry with which

the Black Panthers attacked the liberal minded architects and politicians who presented the Masterplan for New York City

in 1969. Slideshows, architectural reconstructions of the riots, soundscapes and film clips confronted the IABR visitors

with the dark side of making cities.

2. The Political Landscape: Inequality Maps, Political Mobiles & Organoramas

In the second section of the exhibition, Design as Politics (DasP) revealed how the inequality of the inhabitants in terms

of income takes a spatial form, and how this inequality and the way it is arranged over the map determines the character

of the city. This character becomes visible in its public spaces, its architecture and on its sidewalks. The difference and

distance manifests itself in Dutch streets, but more harshly, along the highways of Sao Paulo.

Secondly DasP took a close look at the very projects that form the basis for his years Biennale: the building of the new

Central District area in Rotterdam, the Arnavutkoy structural vision in Istanbul and the new housing projects in Cabuçu,

Sao Paulo. In Calder-like mobiles the very different or even conflicting agendas of partners involved in the project were

visualised. In so-called Organorama’s these microcosms were expanded in panoramic overviews of the metropolitan

regions, showing the urban landscape, as well as its political, cultural and economic features and dynamics.

3. Face Off and Look Forward

In the third and final section of the exhibition, useful lessons were extracted from the four cities, based on the results of

three studios, in each of which two cities were faced off against each other: Detroit against Rotterdam, Sao Paulo against

Amsterdam and Istanbul against Randstad. By systematically comparing parts of the four cities, differences but also

unexpected possibilities open up, dealing with Dutch problems in a Brazilian way, etc.

The Face Off of the four cities leads up to a collection of projects by architects who are native to the cities involved that

look forward in an optimistic and practical way. The Design as Politics approach believes that we have to go beyond the

faux optimism of City Marketing. Therefore e.g. the devaluation of the vacant real estate of Detroit and Rotterdam is

presented as the sole real way of bringing these areas back to life, notwithstanding the huge controversy implicated by

such a choice. The one thing all the projects presented in the Design as Politics exhibition have in common, is that

they use design as a political tool to achieve economic, democratic and social change. By learning from each

other, and by confronting their own tensions and fault lines head-on, the projects offer a vision of the city

in which much larger proportions of the inhabitants might feel represented by the urban projects, than is

currently the case.

16 May - 5 June 2012

Porous City – Opening the Tower by T?F in BK City TU Delft

The first ‘Porous City – Opening the Tower’ of the year was in Delft. The exhibition presented two

sets of experiments exploring different aspects of porosity on two significantly different scales. Built

with approximately one million white LEGO bricks – 676 towers on scale 1:1000 and 16 towers on scale

1:100 – goal was to investigate development of possible new relationships between mass and void

in large-scale architecture. The LEGO brick towering was a result of a design studio led by The Why

Factory and supervised by Winy Maas, Alexander Sverdlov and Ania Molenda in fall 2011. The col-

laborators were: The Why Factory, Arup, Lego Group, KRADS. The LEGO towers were exhibited later

the year at the 13th Architecture Biennale in Venice, Italy (26 Aug-10 Sept), the Helsinki Design Week,

Finland (11-16 Sept) and the 10th Business of Design Week (BODW) at the Hong Kong Design Centre

(HKDC) (3-8 Dec). They were accompanied by workshops and lectures by Winy Maas and other T?F

members. It was the most popular event of T?F in 2012, widely published in print-media and internet

around the globe.

12 July 2012

In the second Vertical Cities Asia International Design Competition two teams from Urbanism TU

Delft were co-awarded the first prize

Vertical Cities Asia was jointly launched by the National University of Singapore (NUS) and the

World Future Foundation in January 2011 and aims to find new urban models for cities that cater to

a greater population without compromising quality of life. The second in a series of five annual com-

petitions, the 2012’s competition explored the theme “Everybody Ages”. All across Asia, the number

of people aged 65 and above is expected to grow dramatically over the next 50 years. Changes that

occurred over 50 years in the West are being compressed into 20 to 30 years in Asia. 20 Teams of stu-

dent architecture from 10 universities were challenged to address this concerns. The two teams from

Urbanism TU Delft were co-awarded the first prize with the winning entries titled ‘The Open Ended

City’ and ‘Life Time City’. Teams from Tokyo University and Tongji University took the second and

third place, respectively. Four Honourable Mentions were also handed out to teams from ETH Zurich,

University of Michigan, NUS and Tokyo University.

1 September 2012

Arjan van Timmeren appointed professor Environmental Technology and Design

His chair concentrates on research, design, development and integration of proven and promising

techniques, infrastructures and interfaces for a sustainable, comfortable and healthy urban environ-

ment. He wants to convince students and researchers about the necessary social aspects concern-

ing sustainability. These are essential for truly sustainable interventions when living quality and user

comfort remain constant or are increasing.

18 September 2012

The Why Factory launches a new studio at ETH Zurich

Urbanism week 2012

The theme of the second edition of Urbanism week was: “Second hand cities; rethinking practice in

times of standstill”, exploring alternative solutions to the same problems cities all over the world have

been experiencing for the last years during the recession. The Urbanism Week is an event of lectures and

workshops, organised by POLIS at TU Delft, bringing students and professionals together to discuss and

understand the topics that are being dealt with in the practice of urban planning & design.

16-19 October 2012

ISUF International Seminar on Urban Form

The title of the 19th ISUF International Seminar on Urban Form, which took place in Delft, was ‘New

Urban Configurations’. The conference concentrated on the impact of economic globalisation and ‘end-

less flows of people, information and goods’ on the transformation of urban form, and the concentration

and dispersal of economic activities and social groups. ISUF is the international organization of urban

form for researchers and practitioners. It brings together urban morphologists from architecture, geog-

raphy, history, sociology and town planning worldwide and seeks to advance research and practice in

fields concerned with the built environment. Organising committee: Prof.ir. Michiel Riedijk, Prof.ir. Kees

PhD defence and retirement Taeke de Jong

On the occasion of his retirement Taeke de Jong celebrated his second doctoral defence ceremony that

first took place some 34 years ago. The subject was again environmental differentiation, but where his

first thesis was primarily sociological in nature, this time his approach was a technological one. In this

thesis, ‘Diversifying environments through design’, De Jong looks at the potential for diversifying the

human environment through the use of design.
