Climate Realignment: Tactical Adaptations to Urban Heat

As climate change intensifies, urban centres face rising threats from heat, jeopardising human comfort and resilience. Often invisible, these phenomena hinder effective climate adaptation. Heat and its impact can be revealed by combining infrared imaging, sensor-based monitoring, and in-depth interviews with residents of climatically obsolete buildings. Climate Realignment: Tactical Adaptations to Urban Heat features heat activated models and a pilot project in Paris to immerse visitors in the realities of designing for heat and showcase the effects of heat dissipation at scale.
