Abstract
The 'Cooler Desert Cities' project aims to unearth design drivers that contribute to low-emission, low-energy desert comfort, laying the basis for the development of the “Cooler-Shaper Tool” (CST).
This report provides an overview of the key developments within the Cooler Desert Cities team, showcasing the research progress and visual materials generated over the period. The cluster’s focus has been on investigating sustainable design strategies for hot, arid regions, particularly in coastal and desert cities.
Through a series of studies, the team explores innovative solutions that merge traditional architectural knowledge with modern technologies to address the rising demand for energy-efficient cooling systems in these challenging climates. This comprehensive report reflects the ongoing commitment of the Cooler Desert Cities Cluster to push the boundaries of climate-responsive design, ultimately aiming to inform sustainable urban planning and architecture in desert environments.
