The idea for the climate resilience kiosk was to transcend the typical designs to come up with a sustainable, energy-efficient and optimum design. The kiosk begins with imagining a system that can gently adapt to many possibilities — a modular setup that gathers different needs into one flexible, resilient solution.

A single system, therefore, must breathe with all these variations, shifting and reorganising without losing its core simplicity. To ease this, the structure should work like a protective envelope: breathable materials that allow air to move, surfaces shaded through deep overhangs, and a detachable roof covering that can be lifted away at night to let the kiosk cool naturally.

The modular kiosk was a design that would mitigate heat transfer, offer shading, promote ventilation and be movable enough. Foldable, no-track sliding shutters wrap around it, offering security, weather protection, and clever integrated storage.

A key takeaway is the potential to introduce these improvements in an incremental, add-on model, allowing vendors to adapt their carts over time, gathering enhancements as their needs and capacities evolve.
