PhD Position in Activating History and Heritage of Amsterdam's Bridges and Quaywalls for Sustainable Development and Protection-
Join the Chair History of Architecture and Urban Planning, TU Delft to analyze Amsterdam’s quaywalls and bridges as part of the World Heritage site Amsterdam.
Job description
The UNESCO Chair Water, Ports and Historic Cities of the PortCityFutures center, located in the Chair History of Architecture and Urban Planning at TU Delft explores the relation between water and historic cities through the lens of the World Heritage site of Amsterdam. The Chair History of Architecture and Urban Planning at TU Delft is partner in the Groeifonds project Multifunctional Urban Waterfronts. The PhD researcher will collaborate with members of the Chair to develop and refine methodologies that help us link historical analysis and long-term thinking on quaywalls and bridges in the context of the World Heritage property Amsterdam, the historic urban ensemble of the canal district built at the turn of the 16th and 17th century, to future solutions that protect heritage and allow for sustainable development in line with the UNESCO Historic Urban Landscape approach. The PhD researcher will be employed to co-lead Work package 7 and to connect heritage approaches to research by design.
The research has three goals.
- To produce advanced historical knowledge of the past, connecting archival knowledge to contemporary data sets. We imagine a web portal that allows for advanced understanding of historic palimpsest - sewage lines, canal foundations, historic dams, etc. - embedded underground and invisible to the naked eye.
- To provide a conceptual background to assure that design interventions respect the site’s unique character and heritage value of historic quay walls as part of future sustainable practices,
- To explore how newly reconceptualized multifunctional quay walls, defined here as having multiple spatial purposes, social practices, and cultural meanings can help protect historic features and potentially build on/reinvent historic practices. To facilitate changes in building practices and lifestyles, this the project engages with Living Labs that allow experimentation with temporary quay walls - as permitted by World Heritage regulation during reconstruction moments and in preparation for permanent interventions.
**Requirements**:
You have:
- Completed an MSc degree in Architecture, Urbanism, Heritage Studies, Architectural History, Urban History, Digital Humanities;
- Awareness of and interest in historic developments and wish to connect this analysis to future design;
- Previous experience in data-driven projects, as well as in coding, scripting, and artificial intelligence, preferably with an awareness of space-based processes;
- Familiarity with spatial data analysis, the use of geographic information systems (e.g. ArcGIS) and 3D modelling (e.g. BIM);
- Familiarity with research by design and data-driven design processes;
- Excellent Master study results;
- previous research experience in a transdisciplinary settings;
- Ability to work collaboratively with others (students, faculty, and staff) to create a supportive research and learning environment;
- Advanced Dutch and English language skills.
