MY TEAM TOPIC

Microclimates Observation• Microclimate is the climate of a local or small area.

Microclimate differs from regional climate and weather in that its area of influence is much smaller than regional climate but is more consistent than weather (which changes day to day).

• Therefore, our job was to find and analyze the advantages and disadvantages of the many different instances of microclimates we saw during our trip to the Brooklyn Waterfront.

MY TEAM MAP

• Identify on a map the key elements your team will talk

about during the presentation. You may need more than

one map to talk about your presentation.

• For example you may have one to identify where your key

photos are taken, one for liabilities, one for assets, one for

design strategies, etc.

• The order of the slides may change – for example you

may have a map for teach sub-topic (inventory, assets,

liabilities, etc)

TECHNOLOGY • A structure constructed out of glass will easily absorb sunshine and overheat. However, this carousel was designed to reflect sunlight from the top.

• Reflective drapes may also be dropped down to prevent overheating during the afternoon

• Close proximately to the ocean provides a very soothing breeze

LIABILITIES

• Many large buildings not in use anymore, taking up space that could be used for more useful buildings

• Destroying these buildings and then rebuilding them will take time and money

• Overpass incredibly loud• Beach open for swimming and kayaking,

potentially dangerous since one area is left open without a fencing

• Large portion of carousel constructed with glass, could potential heat up to very dangerous temperatures

• Plant more greens (plants, flowers, grass, trees) to diffuse loud noises
