The misuse of air conditioning contributes to global warming & the urban heat island effect, we want to design a sculptural energy-free cooling module with high commercial value to reduce people's dependence on air-conditioning. lt becomes a design intervention to reverse the trend of global warming. The project is centred around a porous ceramic material, inspired by the African zeer jar, which makes use of the properties of the material and the water evaporation to carry away heat.
