Biomimicry-Inspired Passive Cooling Architecture

Biomimicry-Inspired Passive Cooling Architecture: Design a passive cooling system that draws from natural and historical examples such as termite mounds, Mughal domes, windcatchers, and evaporative surfaces; to enhance indoor ventilation and reduce thermal load in low-resource settings. The solution could involve rooftop or wall-mounted modules, airflow-regulating structures, or educational kits for student-led innovation. The goal is to prototype scalable, electricity-free cooling interventions suitable for homes, schools, and community shelters in heat-stressed environments.
