‍️ ICYMI: In #Delhi, where #climatechange can drive nighttime temperatures to over 35°C, architect Monish Siripurapu revives ancient terracotta cooling techniques for modern buildings.

His CoolAnt designs use wet earthen materials that cool air through evaporation, reducing temperatures by up to 9.6°C without electricity. As #India prepares to install 130-150 million new air conditioners, these passive solutions offer a sustainable alternative.

@tksst Consider the impact of baking all of the terra cotta, a continuous supply of water, the space required, multiplied by the number places needing cooling.
