Exhibition: Bucky Lab - Convertible Urban Sunshades
01 February 2023 09:00 till 05 March 2023 17:00 - Location: Botanic Garden, TU Delft - By: Communicatie BK | Add to my calendar
Every year our Building Technology Master students are challenged to think outside the box, develop their own ideas and finally build these new and innovative ideas as full-scale prototypes in our mobile prototyping workshop known as the Bucky Lab.
This semester, the students were asked to find new solutions for urban shadings. We have all seen a rise in temperatures during the summer, with the cities becoming even hotter. So the problem is clear: How can we shade our cities during the day and, at the same time, stimulate cooling during the night by exposing the streets to the colder nighttime air? Meaning shading that is closed during the daytime and open during the night.
The student projects are on show at the TU Delft Botanic Garden from 1 February until 5 March.
