Spring 2022
Instructors: Adam Marcus and Alex Schofield
This Building Technology seminar explores ceramic material assemblies as a locus for expanding architecture’s ecological performance. The seminar focuses on the digital fabrication of modular ceramic systems that can serve as ecological habitats for a variety of species. Specifically, the course utilizes robotic equipment to 3D print ceramic modules that vary in form and texture. Building upon existing work at the CCA Architectural Ecologies Lab, the course integrates ecological research into non-human species, their habitats, and how artificial substrates might benefit a more biodiverse ecosystem.
