Framlab - a research and design studio based in New York City and Bergen, Norway - has created a speculative design for artificial, inhabitable "clouds" that could be floated above busy urban streets and other areas to combat urban heat island effects. Dubbed Oversky, the airships are part of the company's mission to explore alternative, zero-emission means to help keep cities cool as part of larger resilience and heat-mitigation strategies. The design involves geometrically shaped, interconnected volumes that would mimic the cooling benefits of the natural worlds thick, dense, low-lying clouds that radiate the sun's rays back into the atmosphere. |
