A primitive yet a new technology integrated in bioskin uses circulation of rainwater through ceramic tubes. Porous ceramic pipes are made with soil. The rainwater collected from the surface of the rooftop stored in the underground storage tank, is pumped up and circulated throughout the pipes that are connected in a square form The rainwater penetrates the porous ceramic and then evaporates from the pipe surface, thereby cooling the surrounding air and the built structure., Rainwater is not discharged into sewage immediately, but is retained on the outer surface of the building for evaporation. Excess water is impregnated in the soil of the premise as much as possible. This will result in the normalization of the water cycle and reduction in load on the sewage infrastructure in the urban environment
