Hines College of Architecture and Design assistant professor Dalia Munenzon and University of California at Berkeley assistant professor Elizabeth Galvez are working to rethink strategies supporting heat-vulnerable communities. The American Association of Architects (AIA) recently awarded the investigators a $25,000 grant as part of the Upjohn Research Initiative, further expanding their proposal, Collective Comfort: Framing the Cooling Center as a Resiliency and Educational Hub for Communities in Desert Cities, which received a SOM Foundation Research Grant earlier this year.Stephen SchadArchitecture,Research,Awards
