DDU Design Studio on 3D printed Adaptive Clay Architectures
Clay constructions have been an integral part of architecture for millennia, offering a locally sourced, low-carbon, and thermally efficient solution for building envelopes. 3D printing clay carries the potential to selectively position the material for contemporary, high-performance architecture. This studio explores the architectural and spatial qualities of 3D-printed clay modules. Students will fabricate an adaptable, modular façade prototype, incorporating urban farming, water regulation, and climate-responsive design.
Using parametric and performance-driven design, students will explore thermal, structural, and environmental properties, through the use of computational tools. The project challenges participants to balance microclimatic responses, geometric constraints, and agricultural interfaces, ultimately producing a functional prototype including experiments with different leafy green plants and facade assembly strategies. During the course, students will receive introductions to computational design, 3d clay printing and urban farming concepts.
