About IUI
At IUI, we believe that effective climate action and heritage protection must go hand in hand.
Our approach integrates arid architecture, urban planning, and heritage preservation to enhance resilience in vulnerable situations. In a world where extreme heat increasingly threatens cities, especially in the Global North, we draw from centuries-old knowledge found in arid regions to propose low-tech, adaptable solutions.
The UKLAD method emphasizes:
Human-centered urban design that protects inhabitants from extreme heat and environmental stress.
Preserving cultural heritage as a key tool for building resilient cities.
Inclusive collaboration with communities to develop strategies that are both innovative and grounded in real needs.
