It is time to call for air design to be considered as part of the design of the city. The scientific community is not only alerting us to the global climate crisis caused by human action on the planet; it is also calling us to act in the public health crisis caused by air pollution in cities. If the built environment is part of the problem, how can architecture be part of the solution? Aire/Aria/Air reflects on the role that architects can play in conceiving new urban cartographies with the contribution of scientists and the public sector, while also proposing new working methodologies that use big data from the city.
