PUBLIC HEAT is an installation that aims to challenge peoples‘ perceptions of architecture. Hopefully, the curiosity that public heat provokes will make people see new possibilities in any and all architectural surfaces. Through appealing directly to human senses and providing something to which, especially in ambient cold temperature, people are instinctively drawn, PUBLIC HEAT shows one way in which public space, like enclosed spaces, can be tailored to the needs and comforts of the human body.

Finally, PUBLIC HEAT aims to be a social trigger. Through creating a combined sensory and spatial surprise in a public venue, the installation should provoke social exchange, conversation and discussion.

We were fortunate to be given an opportunity to install PUBLIC HEAT on Fond du Lac, a street in Sherman Park with a distinct social buzz. Not a common or expected host for an architectural experiment, Sherman Park is nevertheless an ideal testing ground for PUBLIC HEAT because of its lively sidewalk activity and extroverted mood.
