Description
This book explores experimental approaches to designing and producing architectural terra cotta facades and structures. The Architectural Ceramic Assemblies Workshop, supported by Boston Valley Terra Cotta, brings together architects and manufacturers to innovate material and design.
Through the production of unique prototypes, the workshop educates architects about terra cotta, focusing on rain screen facade systems, modular assemblies, columns, and structural systems. This fifth edition chronicles the work of several architectural firms and academic teams involved in the project.
By examining the design and production process, readers can gain insights into the potential of terra cotta in architecture, and how it can be used to create innovative and sustainable building designs.
