Terms and Conditions – the Transsolar Podcast. This series offers an in-depth exploration of the ideas behind our installation at the 2025 Biennale Architettura. Join us for engaging conversations with designers, engineers, and thought leaders – including Biennale curator Carlo Ratti – as we unpack topics ranging from social inequality in thermal comfort to the future of architecture through interdisciplinary collaboration.

Episode 1:
Step into "Terms and Conditions"! The fascinating installation at the entrance of the Architettura Biennale 2025 that sets the tone for the rest of the exhibition. It makes climate change for the visitors immediately tangible. In this first episode host Martin Prösler, engineer Jochen Lam (Transsolar) and architect Bilge Kobas (Technical University of Munich) explore the concept of the installation and unfold some of the stories behind the obvious – for a mindshift in how we plan our built environment.
