It is of utmost importance for our current days and our future, to maximize our usage of available resources. To make structures and spaces that are at minimum self-sufficient in terms of energy, and at best, active producers of energy, instead of passive consumers. This is paramount when we have the possibility to rethink and design public space, which not only would be welcoming and pleasant to the public, but environmentally and economically responsible. The available resources in any public space in Abu-Dhabi are Sunlight and high temperature/humid Air. Today, they raise Universal Thermal Climate Index of Abu-Dhabi’s public spaces to unlivable heat-stress levels,
and thus, the key is to use these resources through scientific and creative strategies that are appropriate to Abu-Dhabi’s weather to transform any public space into an active zone through three main elements: Space creation, Temperature reduction, and Electricity generation.
