Project

Description

This project demonstrates the most effective design parameters on UHI. We are using this model to assist city planners in identifying design solutions that can achieve higher development densities with awareness of UHI impact.

​

Adaptive Design Lab work.

The project was granted by the Urban Redevelopment Authority of Singapore.
