• London’s Eternal Summer

  

  In a culture where we expect all foods to be available at all times of the year, the scheme explores whether the urban heat island effect of the City of London can be used to create a constant summertime. Using the excess heat from financial trading servers to create a tropical holiday destination and fertile growing spaces, the project asks if the ubiquitous office block can grow more than profits.
