POWER Exhibition at CIVA
Bruxelles, 17.03.2024

The Power exhibition invited viewers to examine the issues of energy and policy through a number of interrelated themes: political institutions, citizen participation, geopolitics, the energy transition, and climate justice.
As part of this exhibition, the microclimatic approach to the design of the square in front of Notre-Dame in Paris was put under the spotlight. Studies on summer thermal comfort based on the site’s current and future climates were projected on to the model of the cathedral’s surroundings, spotlighting these challenges in the dark room.
