TREDJE NATUR ApS
The concept developed by the Danish architectural practice THIRD NATURE (or TREDJE NATUR) is described as “pop-up climate change adaptation.” It explores how the joint challenge of major flooding and lack of parking space might be solved. This design “pop-up” envisions building a parking facility on top of a reservoir that fills with stormwater during heavy rain. The parking structure moves up and down as the reservoir fills and empties with water, corresponding to the height of the displaced water. Hydraulic and mechanical lifting and steering mechanisms balance the weight of cars within the parking structure to ensure a secure and even vertical movement. The practice has teamed up with engineering companies COWI and RAMBØLL to develop structural models and financial calculations for the project. As cities become more crowded, such hybrid adaptation solutions could become increasingly relevant.

Have you initiated contacts or technological transfer agreements?The WIPO GREEN database is a free, solutions oriented, global innovation catalogue that connects needs for solving environmental or climate change problems with tangible solutions. The database consists of user uploads of needs and solutions, green technology patents from the WIPO Patentscope database, imports from select partner organizations, relevant knowledge material, and relevant expert profiles. Some of the unique features of the database are: Always-on AI-assisted auto-matching, user uploads tracing and alerts, full-text search for solutions based on long need descriptions, and the Patent2Solution search function for finding commercial applications of a patent. Free registration is required for uploading.

Please help us by letting us know if you have initiated contacts or technological transfer agreements or similar through use of the database.
