ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

The development of the project, as well as this research, was possible thank to the knowledge shared by the mentors and tutors during the Graduation Studio of TU Delft.

Firstly, I would like to thank my mentor Ir. Paul Kuitenbrouwer for having trusted me and supported this work since its beginning, and for the time and efforts dedicated to enriching the value of this project.

I especially thank my mentor Ir. Gilbert Koskamp for the passion, time and precious knowledge shared with me on the fields of architecture, building technology and sustainability.

I would like to acknowledge Prof. Ir. Nathalie de Vries for inspiring and motivating me with her architectural vision.

Dr Sang Lee and Dr Nicola Marzot were essential in stimulating my creativity in research and design methods with seminars and discussions during the year. For their time and trust, I’m very grateful.

I would like to express my gratitude to all the friends, students and professors who spent time with me talking about arts, architecture and technology.

Finally, a special thank goes to my parents who never stopped to trust and motivate me during these years of study. For this, I will always be grateful.
