Urban Oasis 2030
A passive cooling solution for sustainable cities
Urban Oasis is a modular pavilion system created to combat urban heat islands with multiple passive and low-consumption solutions for shading and cooling. In addition to the improved passenger information, the shelters primarily serve cooling and shading, which is also helped by several passive and low-consumption solutions, such as a terracotta cooling wall, porous pavement with mist nozzles, ventilation holes, PRC coating and plants. In addition to this, I intend to adapt to the different locations with different constructional variations, depending on traffic and the place of installation.

Adam Teket
I studied as an industrial designer and product design engineer at the University of Technology in Budapest. I moved to the capital in 2018, and my passion for Budapest and urban studies in general can be roughly dated from here. As I got closer to my degree, I started to care more and more about cities, and I wrote my thesis on the topic of urban heat islands and the effects of climate change on our cities. Even though I was keen on cars as a child and started out as a vehicle designer, I finally ended up at the opposite end - advocating sustainable transport with as few cars as possible.
