The Blue City Lab will be the first off-grid, community-based, floating climate lab in the US. The project is planned to be built in the Upper Bay of New York City in the Red Hook neighborhood. It is a model for climate-responsive architectural innovation combined with low-energy building systems and renewable energy harvesting.
The Thermal Architecture Lab is leading the energy and environmental analysis aspects of the design.
Team: Dorit Aviv, Mrinalini Verma
