IE University has showcased a variety of innovative student projects, including one that proposes a UV-safe suntanning environment. This project, titled "Hot to Go," explores the dual relationship between humans and sunlight—both its benefits for health and the risks associated with overexposure.
The initiative aims to create an inclusive and sustainable tanning space in Madrid by using filtered UV exposure to minimize harm while supporting human well-being. Additionally, it integrates eco-conscious systems designed to restore local ecosystems, promoting a balanced relationship between human health, community, and environmental sustainability.
Other notable projects from IE University include:
-
"A Layered Ground" by Ana Sofía Patiño Mondragón: A multi-layered metal mesh structure for Plaza del Salvador in Segovia that connects roofs, ground, and public space to host various activities.
-
"Liminal Trifecta" by Aisha Rahmanova, Regina Garibay, Antonia Liehr, and Anna Levesque: A modular system that transforms into benches, swings, shaded rooms, or gathering spaces, inspired by the shifting patterns of a Hermès scarf.
