Designed a modular shade infrastructure system to address urban heat and pedestrian comfort in Gulfton, a high-density, low-canopy neighborhood. Identified priority intervention areas through environmental and mobility analysis, focusing on high-foot-traffic corridors and community gathering nodes.
Developed site-responsive shade structures that support stormwater management, improve thermal comfort, and enhance public space usability. Produced design concepts, prototypes, and fabrication strategies to translate climate resilience goals into buildable public realm interventions. The project positions shade infrastructure as both an environmental strategy and a civic identity.
