Indian architect turns to bees and terracotta to design innovative cooling system

This installation is a bespoke attempt to simplify and reinterpret the concept of air-conditioning, using computational technologies.

These terracotta tubes are helping reduce ambient temperatures without harming the environment! How ‘cool’ is this invention?

As the climate crisis makes the world hotter, people are looking to stay cool. By 2050 there could be thrice as many air conditioning units as in 2013

It uses clay pipes and water to cool the air around it. Terracotta tubes are stacked in a metal cage. Water is poured over them twice a day.

This is a cooling system made of natural materials and having minimal impact on the environment
