Survey: What is your cooling solution?
Share your personal experience in dealing with excessive heat in less than 1 minute
As an increasing number of people are coming to terms with excessive heat across the globe and heatwaves are on the front page of every newspaper, The Cooling Solution is a scientific project that uses photography by Gaia Squarci to investigate how people of different socioeconomic backgrounds around the world adapt to high temperatures and humidity. It combines the results of a 5-year-long ERC research project with personal stories, offering a visual journey through peoples’ lived experiences of ineffective and inefficient cooling, hypercooling, heat dumping, vernacular architecture, and cutting-edge cooling technologies in Brazil, India, Indonesia, and Italy.
The Cooling Solution is a photographic exhibition in Venice, open until July 31st 2023, a catalog, a website, and a quiz! In less than one minute, you can answer our short questionnaire and share your own cooling solution with us.
The Cooling Solution is sponsored by the European Research Council, Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, the Euro-Mediterranean Center on Climate Change and THE NEW INSTITUTE Centre for Environmental Humanities.
