Designing for Heat, Designing for All

About this event

“Designing for Heat, Designing for All” is an interactive exhibition exploring the intersection of climate resilience, accessibility and inclusive design. Through experiential activities and a conceptual design showcase, visitors are invited to consider how extreme heat can deepen existing inequalities and how public spaces can better respond to diverse users. Zone 1 – Experience Unequal Impacts Visitors take part in guided and hands-on activities exploring mobility, sensory and communication barriers experienced by people with disabilities, and how extreme heat can intensify these everyday challenges. Zone 2 – Cooling Shelter Model Visitors explore a conceptual Cooling Shelter through a physical scale model and supporting visuals, demonstrating how accessible design and passive cooling strategies can be integrated into public spaces to provide relief from urban heat.
