Description

The urban heat island is a phenomenon which occurs in large cities, including the center of Warsaw. It is due to urban planning of the city: building in air corridors (e.g. Wilanów, Marina), creating concrete deserts, cutting down greenery, drainage of natural watercourses . Heating effect and heat accumulation in the city are additionally magnified by climate change. My project is a commentary and an attempt to draw attention to this issue. I have decided on the form of animation using photographs of urban concrete architecture.
