Foreword

This annual report has the intention to provide you with the necessary facts and figures on the Department 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 courses. 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 Urbanism 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.

About the

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

department

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:

Bachelor

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

Architecture

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 decentralised 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 curriculum 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 visitation 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 satisfactory. 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 offered 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.

Master’s track

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

in Urbanism

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 Architecture. 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 Bachelor’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.

Diploma’s track Urbanism

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 graduation 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.

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 Register, 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 issues 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.

European

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

Master in

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

Urbanism

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

(EMU)

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

students in which they, together with urbanism students, explore the possibilities of future urban development through production of scenarios, models and visualizations. Master students enrolled in the programme are challenged to creatively explore the potentials of urban life in the future. They design visionary cities and fantastic architecture.

Quality

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

improvement

‘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 organisation 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 students 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 interesting. 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 organisation, as well as the way the subject of sustainability was addressed in the graduation work, was evaluated as good.

Research

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

groups

and reputation towards the creation of more sustainable living environments. The priority is to contribute 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 urban 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. Changing 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.

Cross-cutting

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

themes

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, engineering, 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-

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 metropolitan 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 planning and regional design in managing regions, especially the Randstad.

International planning and developing regions This theme undertakes comparative analysis of varying forms of intervention 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 perspectives on the future.

History and heritage vector The theme takes a historical perspective of urban and landscape development 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 material 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.

OTB

In 2012 Urbanism has further strengthen its links with the OTB Institute for the Built Environment (note: in June 2013 OTB becomes part â&#x20AC;&#x201C; namely the fifth department â&#x20AC;&#x201C; of the faculty, whose name will therefore be changed in Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment)

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 monitoring 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: --

Funding

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 important 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 operation 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. Colleagues involved: Stefan van der Spek, Akkelies van Nes

PLEEC: Planning for Energy Efficient city, EU FP7 Energy, Stephen Read PLEEC will identify technology, citizens’ behaviours and structure driven efficiency potentials within urban planning and key cities. By finding the optimal mix of all energy efficiency measures the model for strategic sustainable planning will be created together with the action plans for implementation and management to work towards reduction of energy use in EU by 20% by 2020. Colleagues involved: Roberto Rocco, Ana Maria Fernandez Maldonado, Azadeh Mashayekhi, Evert Meijers & Vincent Nadin 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 professional 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 assessment 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. Colleagues involved: Steffen Nijhuis, Michiel Pouderoijen, Leo van den Burgh, Maike Warmerdam, Anne Loes Nillesen

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.

SUME: Sustainable Urban Metabolism, EU F7, Dominic Stead

gium delta.

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 â&#x20AC;&#x153;urban formsâ&#x20AC;? - have an impact on the qualities and quantities of resources needed to maintain them subsequently. Colleagues involved: Qu Lei, Vincent Nadin

TANGO: Territorial Approaches to New Governance, ESPON, Dominic Stead The aim is to provide evidence to support future territorial development policies in general and Cohesion 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 â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Handbook of Territorial Governanceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. 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 supporting 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. Colleagues involved: Vincent Nadin The Department of Urbanism is engaged in numerous projects or working in collaboration with government agencies, provincial and local government, the private sector and NGOs. Staff are active in making proposals for external funding from the Dutch National Research Organisation (NWO), the EU 7th Framework Program, international Joint Programming Initiatives and the European Spatial Observation Network, among others. Many proposals have been prepared with international partners in Europe, Latin America and East Asia, including a proposal in conjunction with South China University of Technology to the Chinese National Nature Research Foundation. Preparations are already in hand for the EU Horizon Program. The Department of Urbanism is pleased to consider invitations to participate in international research consortia.

We greatly appreciate the sponsorship of the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and Environment of the Chair in Politics and Design; and the Van Eesteren-Fluck and Van Lohuizen- (EFL) Foundation together with the Delta programme IJsselmeergebied sponsorship of the Van Eesteren Chair.

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. Urbanism 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 network 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 knowledge 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 universities 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 Louisiana, USA. David Waggonner, a local New Orleans architect, initiated this dialogue with Dale Morris, of the Royal Netherlands Embassy in Washington DC, and the American 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).

3 Highlights 2012

Vertical Cities Asia; the two teams from Urbanism TU Delft were coawarded the first prize with the winning entries titled ‘The Open Ended City’ and (pictured) ‘Life Time City’.

9 February 2012 Farewell Lecture Joost Schrijnen Professor of practice in Spatial Planning and Strategy Joost Schrijnen presented on 9 February his farewell lecture entitled ‘The Impossible Design of the Randstad’. He gave an outline summary of the book proposal ‘Randstad: A Polycentric Metropolis’ that was recently accepted for publication. His points of view were discussed with book contributors and several invited guests. 14 February 2012 The Why Factory booklaunch: Hong Kong Fantasies and Vertical Village ‘Branding Cities and Bottom-Up Urbanism’ was the title of a debate on the occasion of the double book-launch of ‘Hong Kong Fantasies – Challenging World Class City Standards’ and ‘Vertical Village – Individual, informal, Intense’ at BK City, TU Delft. Prof. Winy Maas discussed the issues addressed in the publications with Leendert Bikker (Economic Development Board Rotterdam), Vedran Mimica (Berlage Institute), Wouter Hagen (VolkerWessels) and Wouter Vanstiphout (TU Delft/Crimson). 17 February & 7 June 2012 Manifestation ‘Geothermie en Ruimte’ The manifestation stimulated and facilitated the dialogue between experts and professionals on geothermal from the spatial development and aims to bring more geothermic projects to practice. Initiators of the manifestation were SKB, Platform Geothermie, Stichting Warmtenetwerk, TNO and TU Delft. 125 people participated the event, that was hosted at TU Delft by Dirk Sijmons and Fransje Hooimeijer. 13-14 March & 14-16 May 2012 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 Urbanism 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 Mining 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’ The colloquium held at BK City TU Delft, in collaboration with Wageningen University, Centre for GeoInformation, was a follow up on the book: ‘Exploring the Visual Landscape. Advances in Physiognomic Landscape Research in the Netherlands’ compiled and written by Steffen Nijhuis, Ron van Lammeren and Frank van der Hoeven. Internationally renowned scholars and young talented researchers addressed theory, methodology and application of visual landscape research in the rural and urban realm. The various contributions provided a wide range of insights about landscape research, planning and design, visual perception, GIS and their combinations.

3 April 2012 Delta Program Knowledge Conference 2012 The Delta Program has to protect the Netherlands against flooding and ensure sufficient fresh water. Central government, provinces, municipalities, regional water authorities and the business community 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 Program 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’, accompanied 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 engagement 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 collaborators 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 competitions, 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 student 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 environment. He wants to convince students and researchers about the necessary social aspects concerning 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 As part of the guest professorship of Winy Maas at ETH Zurich, research and design studio ‘Life in the real-time adaptive, constantly changing city’ was launched, leading in a publication ‘Transformer’.

21 September 2012 Farewell symposium Ina Klaasen On 21 September associate professor Urban Design and Planning and Spatial Planning & Strategy Ina Klaasen had her farewell symposium entitled ‘Urbanism as scientific discipline: knowledge-based design and planning’ at the Faculty of Architecture TU Delft. 24-28 September 2012 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 ‘endless 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, geography, 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 Kaan, Prof.dr.ir. Han Meyer, Dr.ir. Roberto Cavallo, Dr.ir. Susanne Komossa, Ir. Nicola Marzot, Dr.ir. Meta Berghauser Pont. 5-6 November 2012 First Round-Table of Urban Knowledge Network Asia (UKNA) On 5 and 6 November 2012, the first Round-Table event of the Urban Knowledge Network Asia (UKNA) took place at the Faculty of Architecture, in which the faculty itself participates. UKNA is an exchange programme funded by the European Commission in the context of Marie Curie, in which more than 100 researchers are supported in the costs of a visit to one of the affiliated institutes. In addition to the faculty itself, in Europe these include the International Institute for Asian Studies (IIAS) in Leiden, University College London/Bartlett and the École Nationale Supérieure d’Architecture Paris Belleville; in Asia, it includes more than ten university institutes in India and China. Henco Bekkering is UKNA’s project manager at TU Delft. 18 December 2012 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.
