India has a looming air con headache. Does antiquity hold the solution?

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?

Monish Siripurapu’s cooling system may be based on the design of a beehive but inspiration didn't come while he was striding through fields of flowers

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
