Descripción del proyecto
Nuevos diseños sensibles al clima para la vida al aire libre
Con la rápida urbanización, en las ciudades, cada vez se hace menos la vida al aire libre. El proyecto SOLOCLIM, financiado con fondos europeos, tiene como objetivo desarrollar un programa de formación doctoral que permita a los jóvenes investigadores generar soluciones para la vida urbana al aire libre. SOLOCLIM pretende desarrollar estas soluciones a diferentes escalas, que incluyen las escalas de los barrios más grandes y las ciudades, y probar sus efectos. La industria de la arquitectura y el diseño urbano y paisajístico necesita estas soluciones innovadoras a medida que la adaptación climática en las ciudades se convierte en uno de los mayores retos del futuro. SOLOCLIM formará a expertos en este campo y ofrecerá un diseño avanzado sensible al clima a los estudiantes de doctorado.
Objetivo
The aim of SOLOCLIM is to develop a doctoral training programme that enables young researchers to generate solutions for urban outdoor. The aim of SOLOCLIM is to develop a doctoral training programme that enables young researchers to generate solutions for urban outdoor environments. Projections show that urbanisation could add another 2.5 billion people to urban areas by 2050 and the cumulative effect of all the negative urban climate impacts of urbanisation such as the occurrence of urban heat islands as well as distinctive wind patterns in cities create discomfort and health risks. As climate change will exacerbate these urban and microclimatic problems citizens need to be protected. As cities create their own climates, the solutions to these problems are to be found in the (re-)design of cities. Some solutions are known such as the use of vegetation, but there are still many remaining questions about the impact of vertical green as well as the proper distribution of green in cities to have an optimal effect. Moreover, upcoming systems using water vapour as a coolant as well as flexible systems that respond to microclimate have not been studied yet. SOLOCLIM will develop such solutions on different scale levels from small scale around buildings to a larger neighbourhood/city scale and test their effects.
The industry in architecture, urban and landscape design is in need of these innovative solutions as climate adaptation in cities is one of the largest challenges for the future. All plans and designs that the industry develops have to respond to the urban (micro)climate challenges. Apart from the availability of solutions the industry also needs the expertise. This expertise involves design and research skills related to urban (micro)climate. SOLOCLIM trains experts in this field and offers a training for advanced climate responsive design that will be offered to the PhD students as well as some parts to a broader community and beyond the duration of SOLOCLIM.
