About The Entry
The urban heat island effect makes cities hostile to the body; Cool Island counters this by uncovering hidden microclimates and hydrological traces embedded in the urban fabric.
We don’t build a new island — we reveal one.
Through interactive design and citizen-led exploration, Cool Island transforms forgotten and paved-over water routes and overlooked climate pockets into urban sanctuaries.
From heat to cool, from concrete to current —
this is a design experiment in climate adaptation,
and an open invitation to feel, move, and act with the city once again.
