Projects

Textile-forms are textile-based objects that are made via the simultaneous construction of textile and form, which enable on-demand and local production of textile-based consumer products to reduce the industry’s severe climate impacts. How can the future of textile-forms from design, manufacturing, and systems perspectives be explored to develop this vision in the Dutch and Greater Rotterdam Region?

While early research on transdisciplinary collaboration offers initial insights and methodologies for establishing common goals and bridging disciplinary gaps, little is known about the process of joint value creation in mission-driven projects and how to support it effectively. How do members of mission-driven projects deal with value in their projects, what are the effects of this for the project collaboration and outcomes, and how can design positively affect this?

Creativity and innovation are essential to effectively address challenges in establishing a user-driven, circular, and inclusive open data ecosystem. The ODECO consortium network is dedicated to training the creative and innovative capacities of the next generation of open data researchers. Four early stage researchers are unravelling the interplay of design and open data.

De BUCH Circulair Centre is one of ten pilots awarded in the National program Circulair Ambachtscentrum. Participation is seen as a key concept to develop a sustainable Circular Centre that acts a platform for a variety of circular related initiatives with the Municipalities of Bergen, Uitgeest, Castricum and Heiloo.

WIJ Stad is resulting from a covenant between the municipality and TU Delft to strengthen collaboration in city making. Together with TU Delft's Community Engagement & Outreach we work on a scalable way to further disseminate design competencies to betterment between the citizens of Delft and the academic community.
