Our slogan ‘design research for positive and meaningful change’ doesn’t just apply to improving the lives of humans but also improving the lives of non-human beings through the power of design. In this podcast, we spoke with Monish and Pranjal from CoolAnt, a life-centered design architectural product by Ant Studio in Delhi. CoolAnt's innovative designs harness the cooling properties of terracotta to create sustainable cooling systems that are more in-line with the planet.

We speak with their team to explore their approach to life-centered design and how cooling a building is more socially impactful than you might think. And we share what we are doing in our own practice to bring life-centered thinking into design research.
