This workshop explores ceramic tiling systems as architectural envelopes, focusing on climatic performance and ornamental design. By merging Barcelona’s Modernist elegance with Bangkok’s vibrant traditions, participants will create hybrid designs that transcend boundaries and redefine sustainable urban living. Celebrated for their aesthetic and functional qualities, ceramic tiles offer innovative solutions. Participants will examine local techniques to craft systems that enhance sustainability, transforming building envelopes into dynamic, multifunctional layers blending art, structure, and performance.

Initially, the project was planned to utilize a clay printer to execute its design. However, due to unforeseen circumstances, an alternative approach became necessary. Consequently, the project shifted to exploring various techniques to replicate the functionality of clay printing. This exploration led to the adoption of methods such as 3D printing, CNC cutting, laser cutting, and traditional clay sculpting.
The process began with a mesh file provided by the instructor, serving as the foundational design. Students translated the mesh into contour layers, effectively mimicking the layering process characteristic of clay printing. These contours were then reformatted and adapted to different fabrication techniques, enabling diverse interpretations of the original design intent.
This adaptive approach not only retained the essence of clay printing but also expanded the project’s scope, fostering creativity and hands-on engagement with multiple fabrication methods to achieve the intended outcome.
