Climate Intervention Pilots 

Next Project
Beckh Vorhammer has been commissioned to provide architectural design and structural engineering services for a range of innovative shading structures throughout Abu Dhabi.

In collaboration with a climate design firm and landscape architects, we have envisioned inviting public spaces that serve as urban oases amidst the intense summer heat of the United Arab Emirates. By carefully balancing selected plant species, dry mist systems, and adaptable shading elements, we have created unique microclimates that enhance comfort and usability.

Each shading structure is custom-designed for its specific location, employing responsive mechanisms to mitigate direct sunlight and solar radiation. We are confident that these interventions will make Abu Dhabi’s public spaces more engaging and welcoming, even during the hottest summer months.
