Description
The exhibition will explore the unique climatic conditions of extreme heat and humidity, along with current comfort requirements. Imagined as an exhibition of micro-environments, the research will examine the neglected offerings of infrastructure. The exhibition crosses scales – from domestic to industrial – identifying the weaknesses of cooling systems in relation to a broader ecology. The work investigates historical, present, and potentially future water practices in Bahrain.
