The Cooling Solution is a website, a book, and a traveling exhibition, featured so far in Venice in 2023 while in 2024 it will be displayed in New York, London, Saguenay and Trani.
The Cooling Solution is born out of a 5-year-long ERC project lead by the University of Venice and Fondazione CMCC. The project investigates how people from different socioeconomic backgrounds around the world adapt to rising temperatures and humidity in the context of climate change, focusing on inequalities linked to access to energy and cooling technologies.
It combines scientific results with personal stories, offering a visual journey through people’s lived experiences of ineffective and inefficient cooling, hypercooling, heat dumping, vernacular architecture, and cutting-edge cooling technologies in Brazil, India, Indonesia, and Italy.
