urban heating basel-stadt
This atlas was produced during a semester project in collaboration with Oliver Lenzlinger. It draws attention to the problems and effects of urban heating in the city of Basel. Concerning 31 selected locations, all exposed to a heat island effect of varying intensity, the book provides and visualizes information on the manifestation of urban heating in the city of Basel.
„In a global comparison, Switzerland is warming at an above-average rate.“
The locations are shown on an emotional level through Polaroid photographs, which were heated in a microwave for different lengths of time depending on the location-specific heat load. On an informative level the topic is explained through overlapping maps and pie charts. The cover of the book folds out into a map of the city of Basel. It has been screen-printed with a colour mixture based on citric acid and can be baked in the oven, thus coloring the map according to the heat.
