Building bridges (Paperback)
Building bridges (Paperback)
What is the future of science and technology? Will academic research become a commodity like so much else? Will technology and science become ever more intertwined? Such questions concern anyone to whom science and technology matter. A philosophical approach can shed light on them, as Hans Radder has amply shown. This volume contains essays by colleagues and friends that highlight the wide variety of topics he has addressed in his work. Whether it is the interaction between science, technology and society, the nature of scientific experimentation, or the scientific realism question, Radder's approach is always acute and committed. With contributions by Henk van den Belt, James Robert Brown, Kai Eigner, Andrew Feenberg, Steve Fuller, Makoto Katsumori, Peter Kirschenmann, Christian Krijnen, Peter Kroes, Chunglin Kwa, Sabina Leonelli, Loet Leydesdorff, Alfred Nordmann, Pieter Pekelharing, Arthur Petersen, Henk de Regt, Angela Roothaan, László Ropolyi, Frits Schipper, and Astrid Schwarz.

City of the Future / Stad van de Toekomst (Paperback)
City of the Future / Stad van de Toekomst (Paperback)
How can we design and develop a transformation area in an integral way into an attractive and future-proof urban environment? This is the the central question of the research project Stad van de Toekomst (City of the Future). This question is motivated by urgent social as well as local tasks in the urban areas, varying from housing demand, social inclusiveness, new economy, climate adaptation, and the like, taking into account the transitions in energy, mobility, circularity and digitization. Based on future scenarios, the aim and intended results of this study are to obtain insights into the central and local questions in order to inform integral area development from systems and networks. In addition, also transitions to other spatial conditions are addressed. Such insights can have significance for the developments of a number of locations, and contribute to the policy of local and central governments. The study was initiated from the Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management

IABR-2018+2020-The missing Link (Paperback)
IABR-2018+2020-The missing Link (Paperback)
There is a direct connection between the future of the city and the key challenges of our time, such as climate change and rapidly growing social inequality. Over the next three years, the IABR will fully focus on finding a missing link in the effort to uncover solutions: the gap between innovative design and sustainable realisation. Stimulating an environment in which good plans can be turned into concrete projects is a vital part. Published with the 8th International Architecture Biennale Rotterdam, this catalogue starts with the Delta of the Low Countries, with research and ateliers in Belgium and the Netherlands, and exhibitions and programmes in Rotterdam and Brussels.

The Chaplain-Researcher (Paperback)
The Chaplain-Researcher (Paperback)
In March 2016 the Dutch Case Studies Project began in which about fifty chaplains participated as co-researchers in collecting practice-based evidence on what chaplains aim for, how they pursue it, and with what results. The chaplain-researchers produced case studies which were discussed collaboratively in research communities which were chaired by academic researchers. The engagement of chaplains in research can be understood from the development in the profession of integrating research into chaplaincy. While it is presumed that research benefits chaplains' practices, so far the impact of research on chaplains' practice had not been studied. Based on mixed-methods (observation, interviews, survey, focus groups), this dissertation describes, analyzes and reflects on the perceived change of chaplains' professionalism as a result of their participation in the Case Studies Project. This practical theological research provides insight in the value of the double role of chaplain-researcher

Futuring Spaces of Possibility (Paperback)
Futuring Spaces of Possibility (Paperback)
Futuring Spaces of Possibility explores how contemporary art and architecture address urban, social and ecological challenges and create new possibilities for the future city. It invites urban theorists, curators, artists and architects to use Bruges, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, as a testbed for new spatial imaginaries.

This book is published on the occasion of Bruges Triennial 2024: Spaces of Possibility, curated by Shendy Gardin and Sevie Tsampalla.
