Z (for verticality and passive cooling) + IGLOO (for highly insulated simple enclosure) + ART (for fun): We propose a simple structure – a vertically oriented and tapered cylinder, made of layered and stacked units of recycled EPS foam – to create a naturally cooled and vegetated environment amidst the blazing Texan heat. Through te combination of the chimney effect (Venturi Principle) and the high insulation and moisture-resistance value of a common and unglamorous material, a moment of environmental repose is created. Crossing the sweltering street, a passerby will stop and enjoy a green mound with a dark interior space filled with (naturally) cooled air…and art.
