Field Lab: Spaces for Life: Understanding Our Urban Environment

  • The fountain in Courage Yard Shad Thames London SE1 2NJ United Kingdom (map)

Explore with us how spaces are used, how the microclimate influences us, and how the built environment complements the landscape.

Where do you usually sit outside for lunch? Would you choose to sit at a coffee shop if it was windy, dark or noisy?

Different outdoor ‘microclimates’ create invisible boundaries between our urban spaces. These boundaries can be shaped and influenced by the orientation, design and materials of the buildings and landscapes around them - affecting our comfort and driving our decisions of where we want to work and play.

Hilson Moran’s experts in sustainability, microclimate and environmental design will be conducting walking tours along the beautiful riverfront from Tower Bridge to Hays Galleria, considering how different microclimates change across these unseen boundaries. Explore with us how spaces are used, how the microclimate influences us, and how the built environment complements the landscape.

The walking tour begins by the fountain in Courage Yard, SE1 2NJ.

Hilson Moran are consultants, engineers and advisors, applying progressive design thinking to shape the environments we live in.
