Spain is using an idea from thousands of years ago to beat the heat.

I find it so odd that ancient civilisations have tried and tested methods for tackling all sorts of problems, and then we just decided to NOT use those 😭 There seems to be a resurgence of older methods which work more effectively than newer ones

How timely, my wife and I enjoyed a two-week vacation in Spain with the first week of October in Granada, Cordoba, and Seville. The first week of October, every day was right around 39c/100F. Hot indeed! We clearly understood the siesta concept after that waiting until 8:00pm/20h to eat dinner as many places had outdoor dining. At least it cools down in the evenings being a desert like climate, unlike the southeaatern US. Regardless of the heat, we will go back in a heartbeat. Wonderful place.

@Omer1996E.C

Hearing the names "Cordoba" "Seville" and "Granada" really makes me daydream

@JeremySpidle

Hey B1M... Ever heard of a Climate Battery? They're mostly being used in greenhouses now, but in the future, I imagine most buildings will have one...

@alejandroostos

That is my city!! It feels surreal to see it on your channel, thank you!! ❤

@Yormsane

Another simple solution is being implemented by the city of Tucson, Arizona, where there's a project to plant 1,000,000 trees within the city limits, by 2030. Using native drought-resistant species to create shade, clean the air, and conserve dwindling water supplies.

@DouglasJWalker

This is true architecture I believe. There is also a school in India you must do a video on.

@GazMoby

Just in time for lunch. Fantastic 👍

@apollo209

Smart move, Sevilla! Let's hope it works while being energy efficient en give plenty of cooling!

@cristianfamigliuolo

The Moroccan hot mass is not so criminal! It becomes so because it passes partly over the Mediterranean and partly over the Atlantic, capturing much more humidity and complicating the sensation of heat and exchanges.

@bobyoung1698

This is simply a heat transfer system that integrates air and water rather than one alone. I'm glad that scientists are researching the old ways and bringing 21st-century applications for them.

@scpatl4now

This is a take on swamp coolers that have been around for quite some time. They work best in low humidity environments. They don't work very well if your climate has constant high humidity because it gets very hard for water to evaporate when the air is saturated. They use them quite a bit in the US desert SW.

Zanja is a great word in Scrabble! Also a great concept, I hope this is taken up elsewhere.

@masoodalshibi5170

Great team ❤

@koohami

Im from the Bahamas its hots. Love tomorrows build, the b1m and the worlds best construction podcast

@Artista_Frustrado

topic aside... it's CORdoboa, the tilde at the beginning means you put the emphasis in that sylable

@Deibid02

I’m from Seville and I can tell you that although the idea is brilliant, due to the location and nature of the building it’s not going to be very useful. The cartuja island, the zone where it’s located it’s now kind of empty, there are basically only a few office buildings, a hotel and a concert venue. I think the idea and the building itself its amazing but it’s not gonna serve as more than an experiment. Something like this built in the city centre would be awesome, maybe in Puerta Jerez
