1. Staging urban emergence through collective creativity: Devising an outdoor mobile augmented reality tool
Abstract : The unpredictability of global geopolitical conflicts, economic trends, and impacts of climate change, coupled with an increasing urban population, necessitates a more profound commitment to resilience thinking in urban planning and design. In contrast to top-down planning and designing for sustainability, allowing for emergence to take place seems to contribute to a capacity to better deal with this complex unpredictability, by allowing incremental changes through bottom-up, self-organized adaptation made by diverse actors in the proximity of various social, economical and functional entities in the urban context.

2. The Quest for the Room of Requirement - Why Some Activity-based Flexible Offices Work While Others Do Not
Abstract : The overarching purpose of this thesis is to develop further knowledge of the consequences of relocating to Activity-based Flexible Offices (AFOs). As workspace design innovations, AFOs are increasingly implemented in organisations. AFOs comprise a variety of workspaces for employees to choose from depending on their preferences or activities.

3. Planning Design Automation Systems - Criteria and Guidelines
Abstract : Design automation can be a powerful tool in the continuous endeavour to cut lead times, workloads, and, ultimately, costs in order to become more competitive in an increasingly globalised market. Identifying a need for design automation is, consequently, not difficult. What becomes a lot more difficult is identifying the actual need, i.e. READ MORE

5. Computational Methods for Design, Planning and Verification regarding Deformable 1D Objects
Abstract : The industry of today is focused on using virtual tools in the realization of new products. As late changes in a design and planning concept can be extremely costly, there are many benefits to discovering and addressing problems as early as possible: fewer iterations between the different product realization phases and shorter lead-times, reduced numbers of physical prototypes and test series, fewer on-line adjustments in the production system and, in the end, a product of a higher quality.
