Jury comment

Cooling Darwin builds on an understand­ing of microclima­te and urban heat with landscape architectu­ral responses. It is a pilot project that represents a meaningful way to transform the city centre by improving the quality of its streetscap­es and the comfort level of pedestrian­s. While the project works at an urban district scale, the jury saw opportunit­ies to intervene across more levels to achieve better cooling measures for difficult spaces. The jury is keen to see how this design approach might expand over time and would like to see further research and longer-term exploratio­ns.
