Heatwave explores the intersection of tradition, climate, and design, presenting interventions that address the challenges of extreme heat in urban environments. The exhibition reimagines passive cooling techniques—such as wind towers and shading devices—by integrating advanced engineering to provide innovative responses to rising temperatures. At its core, the pavilion envisions adaptable public spaces that mitigate the effects of extreme heat while promoting social interaction and community resilience, with a particular focus on construction sites. Heatwave offers scalable ideas for architecture that respect cultural identity while confronting the urgent realities of climate change.
