This thesis presents a modular accessory system designed to promote bicycle helmet usage in the Netherlands. The project aims to address the barriers to helmet usage by integrating functional, customizable, and attractive helmet accessories that align with the needs and preferences of young urban cyclists.
Through extensive research involving context research, helmet product analysis, and user research, the study identifies key factors influencing helmet use, including social norms, potential functions, and problems of helmet products. Social norm is the most influencial factor among them, which indicates that the low helmet acceptance is not merely due to dissatisfaction with functionality but is influenced by multiple social norms. This explains why conventional helmet designs often fail to attract users. A further case studies is conducted to identify effective design strategies targeting young urban populations.
The modular system incorporates clip-on connection system with four accessory modules. The connection system uses a unique magnetic clip structure that is easy to operate and ensures a secure fit. The four accessories, including a rain hood, visor, head lights, and earphones, tailored to target user needs and preferences to enhance convenience, safety, and personalization. By addressing functional shortcomings and leveraging the appeal of customization, the modular accessory system aims to shift social perceptions of helmet use, making it a more integral part of the cycling culture in the Netherlands.
Additionally, the scalability of the project contributes to the further service system development and commercialization plan to support future market development.

Temporary tram and bus stops can be seen as an overlooked structure in the city. While permanent stops are getting are improving greatly, temporary tram and bus stops are being left behind. Gemeente Amsterdam has the goal to make every stop in the municipality accessible to all users, including people with disabilities. This report explores a potential new temporary tram/bus stop.

The Philippines is a country where most of the human settlements are on the coast. Rapid urbanisation caused by economic development and annual population increment affects the housing situation in the country. In addition, climate change has increased the prevalence of natural disasters, such as floods, typhoons, rising sea levels, tidal movement, and heavy rainfall. In the city of Hagonoy, citizens struggle with the effects of natural disasters, particularly in housing conditions. Typically, locals employ ad-hoc solutions suchlike raising the dwelling one floor higher every few years, which is a costly and inefficient solution in the long term.
The Filipino society is a close-knit ecosystem formed by different stakeholders with contrasting interests and needs. When combining the stakeholders with the increasing environmental pressures, it becomes an even more complex problem. This thesis presents an exploration in implementing long-lasting solutions in coastal rural areas to form resilient communities in the light of the arising problems.
A holistic approach is necessary to generate a neighbourhood that corresponds to the living conditions and resists natural hazards. Firstly, literature and historical research were done to study the events that generated the current society. Secondly, participatory design sessions involved the end-user in the designing process and explored their daily needs. Then these insights were brought together in a system map of people, elements and spaces, and a city map, visualising locals' desires for the future community and analysing the solution space. Finally, the co-design of a floating neighbourhood was conceptualised based on an existing pilot floating home and the required living conditions.
The generated hybrid neighbourhood shows potential to create a resilient neighbourhood where the citizens' desires are placed in the middle of the community planning. Accessibility, sociability and incrementality attributes were perceived as vital to ensuring social acceptance.
The neighbourhood extension illustrates the community's possibility to grow and increment in a non-invasive manner while respecting the dynamics of the existing city. On this basis, the concept of co-creating a hybrid neighbourhood should be considered when designing resilient communities in coastal rural areas in the Philippines and countries under similar circumstances

Sherpa Space Inc., a South Korean startup located in Daejeon, aimed to develop an innovative home appliance capable of growing high-quality medicinal and edible plants by combining aeroponic agriculture with their own patented lighting technology.
To do so, they envisioned a whole service behind the device, which included supplying consumers with newly germinated seedlings and specific nutrient combinations to ensure the best taste and quality of the vegetables.
Under this context, Sherpa Space offered me to collaborate with them by developing a complete concept proposal targeting the European market, including also the analysis and selection of its intended market and final target group. Consequently, the aim of this graduation project is two-sided: first of all, comprehend European markets to define a target group that values a device like this, and secondly, to develop a solid concept proposal including both aeroponic agriculture as well as the lighting technology developed by the company.

This master thesis elaborates on the development of a assistive cycling ankle-foot orthosis for Charcot-Marie-Tooth patients. Study the influence of assistive torque on the kinematic analysis of the knee and ankle joints of a CMT patient on an ergometer bike.

Currently, Quooker is Europe’s market leader in boiling water taps. Although initially Quooker taps were focused on providing boiling tap water in standard households, nowadays an increasing share of Quooker B.V.’s turnover is represented by taps being sold in professional markets from which the office and food & beverages (F&B) markets are biggest. The main objective of this report is to develop a product that fits with the needs and desired of the F&B user which can help Quooker to increase sales in this market.
