Designing (with) microclimates.
Lecturers: Roman Kirschner and and Jyoti Kapur
Contents and Objectives
What are the effects of climatic conditions on spatial atmospheres that include smells, sounds and light? How can diverse microclimates exist in an enclosed built space? How can spaces be "activated" at the intersection of materials and climatic conditions (varying temperature, humidity and air flow)? How could tangible materials help harvest air, moisture and energy?

2) Observe: a) the interrelationship between your tent's outer surface (material + form)and outside climatic conditions - air flow/temperature/humidity.
b) Observe the relationship to the inner surface of the tent and the interior climatic conditions (closed-/open sleeping bag and entry).
c) Observe the interrelationship of the climatic conditions between the sleeping bag and yourself (body)- before going to sleep + after waking up.

1) Make a series of experiments with how to alter and fine-tune the microclimate of a small mobile space paying attention to temporality and diversity. Demonstrate the relationship between the materials used (tent surface or any other that was chosen) and the climatic conditions (air flow, temperature or humidity). Why is the used material essential and what and how does it add to the developed concept? How does the light, smellscape or soundscape vary in your concept?
2) document your failures and successes
