EXPERIMENTEEL BETON 2003 – 2022

EXPERIMENTEEL BETON 2003 - 2022 Publication 20 years Experimenteel Beton - Dutch EXPERIMENTEEL BETON beoogt een inspirerende uitwisseling van ideeën, ambities en expertises tussen ontwerpers en producenten. Overtuigd van de innovatieve kracht van samenwerking is het noodzakelijk om deze vorm te geven, te initiëren, te koesteren, en te laten zien. Ieder wordt aangesproken op hun eigen kracht en kennis. Ontwerpers, producenten en experts. Het doel is om elkaarte leren kennen, elkaars ambities, elkaars uitdagingen. Alleen wanneer men gedegen inzicht heeft in de wereld van de ander kan een vruchtbare dialoog ontstaan. Het doel is om de randen van het mogelijke met beton op te zoeken,elkaar uit te dagen, er overheen te gaan, en mogelijk nieuwe toepassingen en technieken te verkennen. EXPERIMENTEEL BETON gaat verder dan het uitwisselen en ontwikkelen van ideeën en plannen. Ze worden daadwerkelijk uitgevoerd, getest en gewogen. De resultaten van de intensieve samenwerking worden tastbaar en vormen de kiem voor verbazing, debat en vervolg. Deze publicatie toont 129 prototypen, die de afgelopen 20 jaar in 16 sessies zijn ontwikkeld door meer dan 150 ontwerpers, samen met een kleine 100 producenten en experts. 2022 - 2023 concept, coordination, design, publication editor Siebe Bakker graphic design Siebe Bakker & […]

Research to Reality Book

Research to Reality Book 4TU.Bouw is the collaboration between the built environment related faculties of the four technical universities in the Netherlands: Delft University of Technology, Eindhoven University of Technology, University of Twente and Wageningen University & Research. Future challenges for the built environment, like scarcity of resources, climate change, accelerated population growth and demographic change, demand for joint strategies and action. 4TU.Bouw aims to promote collaboration between the universities, industrial partners and the government, in order to meet these grand challenges ahead. This book presents an overview of the four-year period from 2014 to 2017. Around 350 researchers and students from the faculties affiliated with 4TU.bouw, worked with at least 300 experts from other faculties, industries, market parties and governments on a range of collaborative research projects, match-making events, and investigative workshops and conferences. Four years of 4TU.Bouw, led by Scientific Director Ulrich Knaack. 2018 concept, coordination, design, publication IntroductionMost of the more persistent man-made structural assets that surround us in everyday life as well as their reliable structural services are normally taken ‘as a law of nature’ by the general public. Compared to consumer products the service levels of structural assets are extremely high. Bridges with a structural failure rate comparable to that of normal office printers would be considered completely unacceptable, while a tunnel would never be built if they had a service life […]

de toekomst wordt gebouwd: Dutch National Science Agenda In reaction to the public call to present the government with relevant and urgent topics for future academic research, an inventory was made in the built environment faculties of the 3 technical universities in the Netherlands. The resulting topics were filtered and grouped in eight theme's. 2015 concept, coordination, design, publication, strategy De Toekomst Wordt GebouwdNederland is het resultaat van een eeuwenlang bouwproces, het product van maatwerk gedurende vele eeuwen. Er is land gewonnen, er is land verdedigd tegen het water, er zijn steden en dorpen gebouwd, er is infrastructuur gebouwd: van wegen en dijken, van polders en luchthavens. Mensen beleven het land, de ruimte, het (binnen)klimaat van gebouwen, en hebben verbinding met anderen via fietspad, spoor, snelweg, digital highway, water uit de kraan, vuil naar het stort en waterzuivering, elektriciteit voor levensbehoeften en luxe, droge voeten, veilige havens - een greep uit vanzelfsprekendheden die mede mogelijk gemaakt zijn door de bouw en civiele techniek. Met elkaar vertegenwoordigen deze infrastructurele objecten en gebouwen een enorme waarde; alleen al de herbouwwaarde bedraagt een veelvoud van het Nederlandse bruto nationaal product. Het is dan ook een grote uitdaging om het veilig en betrouwbaar functioneren van deze objecten voor vele jaren te borgen, bijvoorbeeld door slim beheer en onderhoud De voortgaande ontwikkeling van samenleving en technologie leidt tot […]
