Two young men create a type of brick that helps cool bus stops and school playgrounds: here's how it reduces the temperature

Swiss designers Andrin Stocker and Luc Schweizer have developed a new type of brick designed to mitigate high temperatures in urban environments. The material is intended for use in infrastructure such as bus stops and school playgrounds to provide cooling relief during periods of extreme heat.

The innovation addresses the challenge of managing heat in spaces that are currently ill-equipped to handle rising temperatures. By integrating this cooling technology into common construction elements, the designers aim to improve thermal comfort in public areas.
