The Transsolar Podcast - Terms and Conditions
"Terms and Conditions" is more than just a podcast about an exhibition; it's an exploration into the unseen forces shaping our built environment and the urgent need to redefine comfort. Transsolar's installation at the Biennale Architettura 2025 in Venice makes climate change tangible – this series brings you engaging conversations with its designers, engineers, and leading thinkers like Biennale curator Carlo Ratti. We'll dive into themes ranging from social inequality in thermal comfort to the role of interdisciplinary collaboration in architecture's future.
