Summary
Henning Larsen and the University of Pennsylvania have installed a modular pavilion called KlimaKover on Governors Island in New York that provides low-energy cooling as an alternative to traditional air conditioning. The silver-clad cooling panels support an expansive roof and radiate cool air to provide heat relief in public spaces, located a 10-minute walk from the ferry terminal.
