主 题:Material research Terra cotta Design-build Color in architecture Ornamentation
摘 要:Material investigations in architecture often exclude practice implications by narrowly determining the scope and limitations of *** limitations are necessary and warranted for open-ended inquiries undertaken in controlled *** with commercial outfits in the context of a prescribed project,on the other hand,requires a clear attitude that accounts for the agency of the manufacturer.A small design-build intervention,completed with an in-kind donation from a terra cotta manufacturer in Buffalo,New York,gave us the opportunity to take on such a collaborative *** order to explore the potentials of terra cotta as a building material to the greatest extent,we strategically increased the complexity of the endeavor,challenging the design and manufacturing team to address production problems in a timely manner to meet the project *** doing this,we relied on conceptual constructs that address specific material and institutional histories of terra cotta and the cultural context,registered as form,color,and ornamentation in the *** paper gives a detailed account of the entire process and the working assumptions by bridging the design and manufacturing decisions in an interrelated manner.
