Colombo, Sri Lanka

Outdoor comfort is essential in many cities in the tropics, since much of the commercial activities take place in the streets and squares. Today, climate change and urban heating are phenomena adding to generally high temperatures and humidity.

Project idea with Lund University, Göteborg University and University of Moratuwa.

Fez, Morocco

A study on qualities and problems in outdoor comfort of both traditional, dense urban patterns as well as in modern, dispersed town planning.
