resources Various resource materials were prepared, collected, categorised and disseminated to the craftspeople to create awareness about the existance of clay as a material craft in other contexts and situations. Research plates were prepared on the use of clay as a building material to expose the craftspeople to space making crafts. The artisans were informed about the different techniques such as superadobe technique of construction used in Iran. They were aware about the use of roof tiles but were shown to use the same module for different system like cladding or partition walls or to create narrow apertures. The modular system, using one module repeatedly to create a system, was explained to them to create the awareness about the use of clay. The research plates shown to them made them aware about the use of clay in construction techniques.
