Heatwaves, characterised by prolonged periods of scorching temperatures and high humidity, are becoming increasingly frequent. The Met Office predicts that nearly one billion people will be exposed to extreme heat stress with a 2.0ºC rise in global temperatures. At a 4.0 °c increase, nearly half the world's population could be at risk. These alarming figures highlight the urgency for innovative solutions to protect people during heatwaves and prevent mass migration from high-risk areas.
Our challenge: How might we design an emergency solution that shields people from the dangers of heatwaves?
Drawing inspiration from the knowledge of how aboriginal societies adapted to extreme heat, we've developed a modern, easy-to-assemble tent that provides a safe haven during heat crises. Our innovative solution efficiently manages heat insulation, incorporating passive cooling technologies to deliver a comfortable and delightful experience for users. Embrace the future of heatwave protection with our revolutionary design.
