Harvard GSD Inaugurates Polinature, a Plug&In Public Space to Transform Urban Climates
Architects Belinda Tato and Jose Luis Vallejo of Ecosistema Urbano have designed a plug-in public space designed to address the effects of climate change in ill-equipped urban environments. Titled Polinature, the installation took shape in the Harvard Center for Green Buildings and Cities backyard, at the Salata Institute of Harvard. The pavilion, featuring native plans set into a scaffolding, with an inflatable bioclimatic canopy, aims to demonstrate how small-scale interventions can create compound positive effects for the local micro-climate and biodiversity.
