Microclimates is a project of objects, installations and protocols creation that temper our living spaces in case of extreme cold or heat wave.
To conceive different manners of living the school according to the seasons, we explored with the pupils the entire building school by touch, sensations and thermic imagery.
Then we imagined rocking fans, reflecting huts, realized hand-writing thermograms, teached into the woods on a day of big heat…
At the end of these workshops, two micro-architectures took place in the school’s courtyard:
The big heating cup.
Fixed on a saucer made of black painted wood with wheels, this cup is adjustable and can be moved.
Sun rays go through the inclined window and heat the ground (painted in black to catch more energy). Inside, few slate slabs favorize thermic inertia. Heat is preserved and diffused thanks to reflecting walls and roof-parasol. This greenhouse effect offers a chance to spend wintry recreations in a warm place.
This cup is made of recycled materials such as: wood used in freight transport, one-use carpet for events, black tarp, a defective parasol…
The rocking boat.
The rocking movement creates air moves emphasized by the sail, the rudder and the paddles-fans. The cotton sail shades and refreshes the air when humidified.
Built to stay in the school’s courtyard, this boat is made of wood used in freight transport.
