Colors indicate identical cutoff angles. Within each color group&nbsp;several different element lengths exist. Wall B&nbsp;contains 28 different elements. The tessellated wall investigates the design space of this approach with a module design that features interlocking, ornamental patterns which allow for novel structural use of ceramic blocks in planar, folding and curved wall assemblies. The modules are produced with a complex extrusion die. Robotic manipulators equipped with wire-cutters can be integrated into the production system to trim off the end surfaces at custom angles and lengths as the wet clay is extruded. Alternatively, CNC disk cutters can perform automated cutting operations after the large ceramic extrusions have been fired. Both approaches allow for low-cost customization of the ceramic modules to achieve a unique three-dimensional expression, control views and light, as well as address different structural needs in the wall. The modules can be bonded with cement for permanent installations, or be dry stacked and clipped together for easy assembly and disassembly, such as in the case of CEVISAMA 2016.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69ea76ec984d5&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" class=\"wp-block-image wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-async--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on-async--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-async-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/research.gsd.harvard.edu\/maps\/files\/2024\/11\/close-up-s-1024x682-1.jpg\" alt=\"Close-up shot of the tessellated wall\" class=\"wp-image-5625\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on-async--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69ea76ec98a74&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" class=\"wp-block-image wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-async--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on-async--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-async-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/research.gsd.harvard.edu\/maps\/files\/2024\/11\/plan-b-1024x346-1.jpg\" alt=\"Image of design plan b\" class=\"wp-image-5616\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on-async--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The two walls displayed at the 2016 Cevisama consist of approximate 700 elements with lengths ranging from 15 to 60 cm.

MaP+S Group","og_description":"The tessellated wall explores the design space of a novel ceramic customization strategy developed by MaP+S researchers and students. The technique involves the automated cutting of clay extrusions that are industrially produced on a state of the art extrusion line. The ceramic elements\u00a0have been extruded from a single die, thus reducing tooling costs.","og_url":"https:\/\/research.gsd.harvard.edu\/maps\/2016\/01\/21\/extruded-tessellation-ceramic-tectonics\/","og_site_name":"MaP+S Group","article_published_time":"2016-01-21T18:14:18+00:00","article_modified_time":"2025-02-21T19:48:03+00:00","og_image":[{"width":1024,"height":683,"url":"https:\/\/research.gsd.harvard.edu\/maps\/files\/2024\/11\/IMG_9528-1024x683-1.jpg","type":"image\/jpeg"}],"author":"SueBoland","twitter_card":"summary_large_image","twitter_misc":{"Written by":"SueBoland","Est. reading time":"2 minutes"},"schema":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Article","@id":"https:\/\/research.gsd.harvard.edu\/maps\/2016\/01\/21\/extruded-tessellation-ceramic-tectonics\/#article","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/research.gsd.harvard.edu\/maps\/2016\/01\/21\/extruded-tessellation-ceramic-tectonics\/"},"author":{"name":"SueBoland","@id":"https:\/\/research.gsd.harvard.edu\/maps\/#\/schema\/person\/c6eaea285bcc24c1a7d4f867a7ec8b4d"},"headline":"Extruded Tessellation: Ceramic Tectonics","datePublished":"2016-01-21T18:14:18+00:00","dateModified":"2025-02-21T19:48:03+00:00","mainEntityOfPage":{"@id":"https:\/\/research.gsd.harvard.edu\/maps\/2016\/01\/21\/extruded-tessellation-ceramic-tectonics\/"},"wordCount":356,"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/research.gsd.harvard.edu\/maps\/2016\/01\/21\/extruded-tessellation-ceramic-tectonics\/#primaryimage"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/research.gsd.harvard.edu\/maps\/files\/2024\/11\/IMG_9528-1024x683-1.jpg","keywords":["ceramics"],"articleSection":["Portfolio"],"inLanguage":"en-US"},{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https:\/\/research.gsd.harvard.edu\/maps\/2016\/01\/21\/extruded-tessellation-ceramic-tectonics\/","url":"https:\/\/research.gsd.harvard.edu\/maps\/2016\/01\/21\/extruded-tessellation-ceramic-tectonics\/","name":"Extruded Tessellation: Ceramic Tectonics -
