-FINALIST of Waterless World Competition

 

The temperature of the urban centers is high due to the materials in which they are built, thus increasing the greenhouse effect and reducing the quality of life of the inhabitants of the city. City Skin is a new urban element that allows the reduction of the island heat effect, the absorption of moisture from the air, and its subsequent redistribution, create new scenarios in public spaces and urban voids. The polyester mesh is anchored to existing buildings, capturing and draining moisture from the air and rain, transporting torrents of water to a redistribution system, thus allowing better use of rainwater. Besides, this mesh shades the sun’s rays that collide on hard surfaces that absorb heat, and therefore, the temperature is reduced. Finally, this system forms a new way of inhabiting the city, under an intricate mesh that allows the appearance of landmarks and spaces around water in urban voids, in this way, the role of water as a fundamental element for life is made visible and more evident.
