TODAY, HISTORICAL REDLINING AND RAPID INDUSTRIALIZATION HAVE TURNED THIS SITE INTO WHAT IT IS: LARGE PARKING LOTS AND BOX STORES IN THE WILLIAMSBURG HEIGHTS NEIGHBORHOOD OF MILWAUKEE. THIS IS THE GOLDMINE OF THE HEAT FARMERS. WE WILL SEE HOW THEY PLAN TO TURN THE TRAPPED HEAT OF THESE PARKING LOTS INTO A MEGACOMMUNITY. THE CONCRETE IS THEIR FERTILE SOIL FOR REBUILDING A HEALTHY RELATIONSHIP WITH HEAT, EVEN AS TEMPERATURES CONTINUE TO RISE AND THE HEAT BECOMES MORE THREATENING IN NATURE.

TURNING HEAT ISSUES FROM HISTORICAL

BECAUSE CONCRETE ABSORBS AND RERADIATES MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF HEAT, AND TREES AND PLANTS OFFSET HEAT, AREAS HEAVY IN CONCRETE WITH A LACK OF TREES HARBOR AND TRAP EXCESS CO2, LEADING TO BECOMING OVERHEATED. IN A TYPICAL HEAT WAVE - WHICH IS ALREADY EXACERBATED BY CLIMATE CHANGE - REDLINED NEIGHBORHOODS - WHICH OFTEN FEATURE LOTS OF CONCRETE AND VERY FEW TREES - CAN EXPERIENCE HEAT WAVES MORE INTENSELY, AND IN WAYS THAT BECOME DANGEROUS. HEAT CAN BE THERAPEUTIC, BUT TOO MUCH OF IT AND TOO MUCH OF IT CONCENTRATED IN A CERTAIN WAY, CAN BE BAD FOR OUR HEALTH.

THE

BIOMASS PROPERTIES OF CONCRETE CAN BE HARNESSED TO REDIRECT THE HEAT

CONCRETE RETAINING AND RELEASING EXCESS CO2 INTO REDLINED NEIGHBORHOODS WITH TREES AND WITHOUT OTHER HEAT SINKS IS WHAT MAKES IT SO DANGEROUS. ITS POTENTIAL ENERGY IS BEING WASTED AS UNCONTROLLED RELEASED HEAT. ADDING TREES AND BODIES OF WATER SELECTIVELY, USING CONDUCTORS TO “FUNNEL” HEAT INTO DIFFERENT LOCATIONS, AND USING THERMOELECTRIC CONVERTERS ARE A FEW WAYS TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE MASSIVE ENERGY SOURCE CONCRETE POSES, ESPECIALLY IN CREATING THERAPEUTIC HEAT SPACES.
