We take you to Milan! Congratulations to jula.suli on Urban Coolspot. Julia Sulikowska is a graduate of kunsthochschuleberlin and one of this year’s winners. Urban Coolspot will be exhibited in an exclusive exhibition in Milan at the same time as the @isaloniofficial. We are looking forward to it!

Inspired by traditional inventions, the project explores the potential of clay for evaporative cooling. Urban Coolspot is a modular structure that saves water from drainage channels. Absorbed by the porous ceramic it’s distributed by capillary attraction. On hot summer days, the gradual evaporation cools the warm ambient air and the wind carries it across the heated urban landscape. It is an adaptive solution for a sealed environment. It doesn’t require costly reconstruction or energy supply.
