"The Oasys" is the team's answer to Cooling Down Abu Dhabi. Outdoor thermal comfort system installments are important to public and private spaces that will ease the threat and the dangers of climate change to urban development and society.

"The Oasys" is an oasis space, which is constructed from modules of palm tree-like structures that will be the main function of the system. It will have such functions as spraying mist through nozzles that underlay the palms and collect solar energy through solar panels on the roof of the palms.

The structure will act as a barrier to regional and environmental issues such as heat, UV rays, and noise, wind, and sand storms. This will be the main system, which will control the atmosphere within the space to keep it comfortable and relaxing for all. Around the palm, structures will be planted trees to help ease sound pollution and wind entering the space.

The foundations of the structure will already be in place on each plot of land marked for cooling and to create social space.
