Taking a breather is a project aimed at optimising thermal comfort in the urban environment of Paris by exploiting the properties of wind, water and physics. This architectural structure aims to provide Parisians with spaces better suited to extreme heat conditions and periods of heat waves. The main objective of this project is to mitigate the unavoidable consequences of global warming by adopting a proactive approach, based on anticipating and implementing innovative solutions. The devices are specifically designed for easy placement. They are also designed to preserve the use of space throughout the year.
