Arise 2018 symposium
At the 2018 Arise symposium, I presented – preliminary – findings of a project on information systems for deconstruction practices.
Journal paper publication
My first publication ‘Experiencing Supply Chain Optimizations: A Serious Gaming Approach’ – in the Journal of Construction Engineering and Management. Read the entire paper here.
Serious gaming workshop at CHOIR summer school
A significant part of the one-time summer school on Healthcare Operations Research is devoted to serious gaming techniques. My former colleague Alexandr and I were invited to introduce the essential basics to the +/- 50 participating PhD students from all around the world and to get them inspired for making a serious game (prototype) themselves.
Paper presentation at IPSERA 2017 conference
I presented my paper called Coordinating reverse logistics in construction: mechanisms to manage uncertainties for various disposition scenarios at the IPSERA 2017 conference in Balatonfüred (Hungary). In the paper, we uncover demolisher-contractor relationships in three different real-world projects.
Project visit: Circular pavilion ABN AMRO
Visit to the construction site of the Circular pavilion of ABN AMRO in Amsterdam. The planned building will provide office (meeting) spaces and will also serve some cultural and public functions. The project allows the bank to gain first-hand experiences with circular economy principles. A report of the project visit is published here.

Launch of the BAMB Stakeholder Network
The Buildings As Material Banks (BAMB) research project is creating circular solutions for the building sector. BAMB seeks to develop and integrate new tools that will enable a shift towards dynamically and flexibly designed buildings that can be incorporated into a circular economy.
Two workshops at Lean Construction Symposium 2016
Participants played the serious game Tower of Infinity and then engaged in a critical discussion on the key ingredients for success – within the game and beyond. (more…)
International Design Studio (Sarajevo)
During this one-week workshop, we developed design concepts for dynamic and circular building. (more…)
Workshop Gaming and simulation in construction education
I gave a workshop on possibilities for serious games in construction management education. A prototype of the Tower of Infinity was play-tested for the first time as well.

I presented a poster of my research at the Microsoft Research PhD summer school 2015 in Cambridge.
Attendance BIM Praktijkdag 2015
BIM stories from practice were shared at the BIM Praktijkdag 2015.
Designing a Thing
Through organizing collaborative design sessions with low-tech materials, we designed a Thing (socio-material assembly).
