Wetenschappelijk opgezet, maar voor het brede publiek op een toegankelijke wijze en rijk geïllustreerd gebracht. Monumenten in Nederland biedt de lezer een boeiend en gevarieerd beeld van de cultuurhistorisch meest waardevolle structuren en objecten. De serie is niet bedoeld als reisgids en de delen bevatten dan ook geen routebeschrijvingen of wandelkaarten. De reeks vormt een beknopt naslagwerk, een bron van informatie voor zowel de wetenschappelijk geïnteresseerde lezer als voor hen die over het culturele erfgoed kort en bondig willen worden geïnformeerd. Omdat niet alleen de ‘klassieke’ bouwkunst ruimschoots aandacht krijgt, maar ook de architectuur uit de periode 1850-1940, komt de grote verscheidenheid aan bouwwerken in Groningen goed tot uitdrukking.

  • The Urban and Cultural Climate of Rotterdam Changed Radically Between 1970 and 2000. Opinions Differ About What the Most Importa
    The urban and cultural climate of Rotterdam changed radically between 1970 and 2000. Opinions differ about what the most important changes were, and when they occurred. Imagine a Metropolis shows that it was first and foremost a new perspective on Rotterdam that stimulated the development of the city during this period. If the Rotterdam of 1970 was still a city with an identity crisis that wanted to be small rather than large and cosy rather than commercial, by 2000 Rotterdam had the image of the most metropolitan of all Dutch cities. Artists and other cultural practitioners – a group these days termed the ‘creative class’ – were the first to advance this metropolitan vision, thereby paving the way for the New Rotterdam that would begin to take concrete shape at the end of the 1980s. Imagine a Metropolis goes on to show that this New Rotterdam is returning to its nineteenth-century identity and the developments of the inter-war years and the period of post-war reconstruction.

  • Hoogbouw in De Ruimte
    Master Thesis Economische Geografie Hoogbouw in de Ruimte Rinse Gorter Augustus 2008 Studentnr: 1300083 Begeleider: Prof. Dr. P.H. Pellenbarg Opleiding: Economische geografie 2 -2- Voorwoord Voor u ligt het onderzoek dat ik gedaan heb ter afronding van de masteropleiding Economische Geografie aan de RijksUniversiteit te Groningen. In een paar zinnen voorafgaande aan het werkelijke onderzoek wil ik graag alle mensen in mijn omgeving bedanken voor hun bijdrage, hulp en steun. In het bijzonder wil ik mijn vader bedanken voor zijn op- en aanmerkingen die mij vaak verder hielpen in het schrijfproces. Daarnaast wil ik Prof. Dr. P.H. Pellenbarg bedanken die mij begeleid heeft bij het schrijven van mijn masterthesis. Verder wil ik Dhr. A. Edzes bedanken voor het vervullen van de taak als tweede begeleider. Natuurlijk zijn ook vrienden en andere familieleden onmisbaar geweest bij het tot stand komen van dit eindproduct. Rinse Gorter, 10 juli 2008 3 -3- Abstract This thesis, written in the finalizing stage of the master’s degree in Economic Geography at the RijksUniversiteit Groningen, is about high-rise buildings in the Netherlands. The title ‘Hoogbouw in de Ruimte’ would literally be translated in English as ‘High-rise buildings in Space’ but (because mankind is still not able to build on the moon) should be read as ‘high- rise buildings and their environment’. High-rise buildings in the Netherlands are starting to play an increased role in Dutch municipal policy. Because of the lack in national high rise building policy, most of the major cities have developed their own policy on skyscrapers. When we look at the history of the skyscraper in the Netherlands, there has been a shift from public development before the 1980’s to private development after 1990.

    €env€ Rationalising the Structural Material Choice Process for High Rise Buildings in the Netherlands Master Thesis E.M.R. Koopman Rationalising the Structural Material Choice Process for High Rise Buildings in the Netherlands E. (Esmee) M.R. Koopman – 4730593 [email protected] [email protected] Master Civil Engineering: Building Engineering – Structural Design Technical University of Delft, The Netherlands Company: Arcadis, Rotterdam Period: October 2019 – June 2020 Defence: 10th of July, 2020 Graduation committee: ir. J.G. Rots, ir. R. Crielaard, ing. P. De Jong, ing. Tom Borst 2 Abstract De Randstad is popular place to work and live. The amount of residents will continue to grow and because of that, the housing demand increases the coming years. To accommodate the city growth in a small country as the Netherlands is, the municipalities of de cities in De Randstad turn to high rise buildings. The floor plan of a high rise building gets repeated on every floor and because of that, the design decisions that are part of this repetition are important. The structural material choice is one of these repeated design decisions and thus important. The structural material choice is also important, because it is linked to all the disciplines on the design team and factors like cost and sustainability. Currently 64% of the high rise buildings in the world have only reinforced concrete as structural material. Of the buildings in the Netherlands above 120 m, 86% have only reinforced concrete as structural material. This raises the question if the preference in the Netherlands for concrete comes from a clear decision-making process or if it originates elsewhere? In theory this decision-making process follows an organized cycle called the Basic design cycle.

    FRANK VAN DER HOEVEN, STEFFEN NIJHUIS HI RISE! I CAN SEE YOU PLANNING AND VISIBILITY ASSESSMENT OF HIGH BUILDING DEVELOPMENT IN ROTTERDAM 12.1 INTRODUCTION Western European cities like London, Paris, Rotterdam and Frankfurt am Main have seen im- pressive high building developments over the past two decades. This has led them to develop policies for regulating the planning and construction of tall buildings, high-rise buildings and skyscrapers within their territory. So far, these high building developments and policies have received little attention from the academic community. This chapter elaborates a framework for analysing high building development and the visual impact of high buildings on the surround- ing landscape with the city of Rotterdam as a Western European showcase. It presents a system- atic approach for analysing high building development in terms of architectural height, year of completion, location and functional use, for use in the comparison of existing buildings with the urban policies that are in place. Comprehensive GISc-based viewsheds were used to analyse the visibility of the high buildings, factoring in both meteorological circumstances and the vertical area of the buildings. The showcase city of Rotterdam demonstrates that a considerable distance exists between the vision and reality. The city struggles to deliver a consistent and integrated policy for high-building urban areas, while the high building developments themselves seem to be ruled by a remarkable internal logic that is not fully recognised in policymaking. The impact of tall buildings, high-rises and skyscrapers on neighbourhoods, urban districts and cities is widely acknowledged by architects, urban planners, politicians and developers all 277 over the world.
