Artica, a project developed by a group of designers supported by Design London and funded through NESTA, is a natural cooling and ventilation system for interiors that incorporates creative design while remaining almost wholly sustainable. Recently prototyped with trails underway for mass production, Artica will use less than 10% of the energy your conventional HVAC system uses. Visually incorporative, the design quality of its sleek and modern frame is only enhanced by the fact that it was deliberately designed to utilize re-used bi-products from other industries. Needless to say, anything that saves the earth while retain a rigorous design standard is okay in my book. – via
