Project Highlights

Guan Lee’s research into the processes of 3D printing with clay started in 2014 and was one of the first to study the viability of this method in architectural production. Subsequently, in the same year, it won the RIBA Research Trust Award. The solo show Life of Clay: Experimental Practice at Grymsdyke Farm at The Architecture Centre in Bristol was listed by The Guardian as one of the best exhibitions of 2017. Between 2017 and 2018, Lee realised a permanent architectural intervention at the V&A. This new and innovative process using 3D-printed clay had not been trialled at such a large scale before and features the first 3D-printed ceramic elements within an architectural fabric. Since opening to the public, it has been visited by 4.2 million people annually.
