Developing design and decision support solutions for architecture and urban planning challenges
Organisatieprofiel
As a result of processes becoming increasingly complex in recent years, integrated solutions to architectural and urban planning and design challenges, such as the development of smart cities, need to be assessed from multiple perspectives. Existing models and tools often fail to meet this requirement. The aim of the DDSS research program is to develop groundbreaking design and decision support systems that focus on particular types of design and planning problems in architecture and urban planning. The main objective of the DDSS research program is to conduct Innovative academically rigorous research, which is of practical relevance.
To that end, three groups participate in the research program: Information Systems in the Built Environment, Urban Planning Group and Real Estate Management and Development. Cross-fertilization between different age groups and disciplines is deemed essential to advancing DDSS research. The focus of the projects is to
- Develop groundbreaking, innovative models and design and decision-support systems for specific applications in architecture and urban planning.
- Disseminate such progress to practice.
- Develop specialized knowledge about user responses to changes in their environment that can be applied to issues currently important to society such as energy use, mobility, information technology, safety, climate change and sustainable urban development.
In addition to internal collaboration, DDSS is involved in several national and international research collaborations, with professional organizations and universities.
VN Doelstellingen voor duurzame ontwikkeling
In 2015 stemden de VN-lidstaten in met 17 wereldwijde duurzame ontwikkelingsdoelstellingen (Sustainable Development Goals, SDG's) om armoede te beëindigen, de planeet te beschermen en voor iedereen welvaart te garanderen. Ons werk draagt bij aan de volgende duurzame ontwikkelingsdoelstelling(en):
-
SDG 2 – Geen honger -
SDG 3 – Goede gezondheid en welzijn -
SDG 4 – Kwaliteitsonderwijs -
SDG 6 – Schoon water en sanitaire voorzieningen -
SDG 7 – Betaalbare en schone energie -
SDG 8 – Fatsoenlijk werk en economische groei -
SDG 9 – Industrie, innovatie en infrastructuur -
SDG 11 – Duurzame steden en gemeenschappen -
SDG 12 – Verantwoordelijke consumptie en productie -
SDG 13 – Klimaatactie -
SDG 15 – Leven op het land -
SDG 16 – Vrede, rechtvaardigheid en sterke instellingen
