R_Lab TERRAPERFORMA Terraperforma is a project by IAAC developed at an open thesis fabrication in 2017. The project combines Robotic fabrication, OnSite Printing and Printing with Clay. CRITICAL ANALYSIS Form The projections cast shadows on the niches thus lowering the heat gain by the wall and the internal waffles create air gaps to reduce heat gain. Function A series of physical tests and digital simulations were carried out for wall prototype with respect to solar radiation; day-light; thermal conductivity, convection & mass; and Structural Behavior.
