/  BRIEF

​

Our world is changing. Imagine Miami Beach permanently underwater, hurricanes constantly clashing against Manhattan, devastating droughts in London, and heatwaves that render Barcelona unlivable. A future like this currently occupies our imagination but inches closer to reality each day. How will our built environment react to rising sea levels, extended droughts, climbing temperatures, and other symptoms of global warming? How can our buildings and cities prevent the severity of natural disasters, degrading air quality, melting ice caps, and climate change at large?

/  ABSTRACT

​

Super Cloud is an experimental cloud research floating habitation acting as an artificial cloud to actively cool the Earth's temperature - a timely response to the disappearance of low-lying clouds on the planet.

 

The proposed design s conceptualised as an extensive cluster of floating cloud-like modules with three novel capabilities put together to actively purify the atmosphere from air pollutants, lower the Earth's temperature by providing shade and reflecting sunlight back to space, and aid in the reformation of clouds in the atmosphere.
