The installation exposes the lost histories and unrecognized imaginations of creativity born in spite of the segregation and land vacancy found in ‘Black Belt’ neighborhoods of Chicago’s South Side.
This project discusses the development of a 3D printing process to manufacture porous ceramic materials from clay for thermal insulation and passive cooling in buildings.
Architecture, Structures and Construction Journal (2022) We are excited to publish our post-tensioned ceramic work in the ‘Architecture, Structures and […]
Ceramic Prototype: Hypar Tower explores the structural capabilities of slender ceramic extrusions – a product commonly utilized for exterior claddings, rain screens or sun-shading elements.
How can we deposit multiple clay bodies with a single integrated design to 3D printing process? While the context for this project is the growing area of functionally graded materials and multi-material processes the work began by looking back in time. A historic example of tiles with multiple clay bodies are encaustic tiles.
This research utilizes a spatial printing technique with an enhanced responsive system for material feedback to 3D print light-porous clay lattices in a short time with efficient use of the material, and designed functions and aesthetics.
