Designing urban habitats that balance culture, comfort and efficiency.

From ancient Mexico to modern recess, civilians want city spaces where they can prosper. Archeologists uncover cultural treasures in Teotihuacan, a biometeorologist measures children adapting to extreme playground heat, and the LEED program helps architects construct energy-efficient “green” buildings. Also, a glassblower shapes custom goblets and tools for science laboratories.
