Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

Wind, noise and water

Course week(s) Week 1
Course subject(s) 2. Wind, noise and water

Wind and noise are always paramount factors in the calculation of design projects. Lecture 2a will therefore go into the various forms these take and how a design can successfully adapted to them.

Lecture 2b explores the threats and opportunities water in the world offers en goes into artifacts specifically dedicated to alter or control the force of water. Main focus lies on Dutch planning projects, who have a long history in dealing with the problem of water-control.

Publish on your website:

  • a report with text, schemes, images and calculations how you could use your knowledge of the subject in your future design practice.
  •  make all calculations, improving them and adding new ones, in earlier and future design.
