OASIS Abu Dhabi
OASIS Abu Dhabi
- Systemic changes
Due to rapid urban development, recent architectural designs have paid very little attention to the extreme local climatic conditions leading to the UHI effects, air pollution and over-generation of GHG and increasing the health risk. The cities need to adapt to climate change, to avoid multiple challenges in the future. Thus, the designed structure aims to interrupt microclimate changes in the urban canyon through its shape and characteristics, decrease the anthropogenic heat and energy consumption in the surrounding buildings. We created a small cool island by providing shadow and blocking the solar radiation through greenery and the shape of the entire structure as well as using natural and high albedo materials. The hollow and prefabricated structure has also the potential to be replicated in various urban areas. This can provide plenty of urban Oases and lungs to let the city breathe, cool down and move towards urban climate change resilience.
