Climate-resilient places
Cooling as a design quality
Shade, evapotranspiration, water, materials and wind are combined to create comfortable public and private spaces.
01
Microclimate first
Sun, wind, paving, façades, vegetation and patterns of use are examined to understand peak exposure and vulnerable areas.
02
A layered approach
Trees, pergolas, green façades and roofs, water retention, light-coloured surfaces and cool routes work together. Effects remain project-specific.
03
Comfort and inclusion
The design considers children, older people, animals, mobility impairments and people who are sensitive to heat or sensory stimuli.
