ICAT Playdate — Evaporative Cooling Partitions

In the context of rising global temperatures and the many costs of cooling buildings, the Evaporative Cooling Partitions project explores how an archaic, passive technology blended with advanced manufacturing methods could be meaningfully integrated with contemporary building. Connected with the principal investigator's book, "Reimagining Alternative Technology, for Design in the 20th century" the project is part of a broader inquiry examining how archaic technologies, with global precedents,  can be relevant in contemporary sustainability discourse.
