- Ceramic Constellation Pavilion built from 3D printed clay bricks3D printing gives designers a lot of freedom to create mass produced products, but instead of all looking the same, they can still contain…
- TierrafinoBEAUTY AND CONSCIOUSNESS That is what Tierrafino is all about, the clay experts since 1990. VISION "Making an essential contribution to a beautiful, healthy…
- Secrets of porcelainClay is a surprisingly mouldable material that is relatively under explored. Here’s a look at the range of possibilities that clay presents. UK-based crafter…
- A circular tableware made from recycled porcelainTo counter the amount of waste porcelain, Dutch designer Lotte Douwes developed a circular tableware collection in which she reuses ground up porcelain. One…
- ClaytecClay bricks also help regulate temperature and humidity, making them ideal for ’breathing’ constructions. Claytec plasters use a base of white clays and sands and then use natural pigments.
- Fusion MetalThe Fusion Metal series have the look of rusty steel or titatium but in fact are ceramic tiles. The basic tile is made from clay. Feldespar and caolin are added to the clay to make it less poreous. Quartz is added to make the clay stronger and finally fluxes is added to enable firing the clay at an optimum temperature.
- Terres émailléesThis project transforms this excavated soil and demolition waste into glazed ceramic tiles. These excavated materials, such as clay, marl, sand, limestone, as well as demolition debris like bricks, granite, and glass, find a new purpose. Glaze recipes have been formulated by mixing finely ground waste materials in specific proportions. Clay body recipes have been developed using excavated clays and marls.
- New sustainable brick is twice as strong as concrete!A new masonry building material developed by California-based startup Watershed Materials is twice as strong as concrete, offers a low carbon footprint and is…
- 3D Printed Ceramic Powerwall Visualises Energy Through ArchitectureRotterdam-based Studio RAP has completed Powerwall, a large-scale 3D printed ceramic artwork for the Switchstation Beverwijk transformer station in the Netherlands. Studio RAP developed…
- FabrikaatSince 2013, Fabrikaat has been developing an art and design programme with a strong focus on placemaking. Located between the Waal River and the…
- Terra alchemyTerra Alchemy is an ongoing material research examining the inherent relationship between clay and metal and the unexpected possibilities it holds. Shown here is a ceramic tile utilising discarded oxidised metal and a ceramic tile combined with copper integrated into them by using ‘metal clay’ metal powder combined with an organic binder that disintegrates in the firing and leaves a fully sintered metal that can be used for conducting heat or electricity through ceramic bodies.
- A ceramic dripping machine to create structures, graphics and texturesWith the project Moca, Studio Joachim-Morineau developed a dripping machine that drips liquid clay at a certain rhythm to create various structures, graphics and…
- TERRA_TORY IOBCUnfired Nijmegen river clay tiles coated with a waterproof, biobased coating with pigments from recycled iron oxides. The tiles are only coated on the top and sides, leaving the bottom bare. Once the tiles are at the end of their life, they can be submerged in water, allowing to reclaim the clay and removing the biodegradeable coating.
- TERRA_TORY PMBCUnfired Nijmegen river clay tiles coloured with various plant pigments and chalk from freshwater mussel shells, finished with a waterproof, biobased coating. The tiles are only coated on the top and sides, leaving the bottom bare. Once the tiles are at the end of their life, they can be submerged in water, allowing to reclaim the clay and removing the biodegradeable coating.
- Poured Earth: Casting a Sustainable Future for ArchitectureMaterial research studio Matter at Hand, together with ceramic manufacturer Darwen Terracotta, has developed Poured Earth. This prototype reimagines earthen building as a castable, fluid material…
- Biofuel Waste is BlissThe Biofuel Waste is Bliss project redefines the use of ashes from bioenergy waste streams, creating new environmentally-friendly materials and architectural products, such as ceramic glazing for tiles and bricks. By incorporating up to 55% ash content in ceramic glazes and clay bodies, the project aims to replace the need for newly extracted materials while reducing the industry's CO2 footprint.
- MyCeraMyCera is a composite material made from clay, wood sawdust and mycelium. Using mycelium as an intelligently oriented fiber reinforcement increases the structural performance of 3D printed unfired clay elements and allows for bio-welding of fired clay elements after assembling.
- From Algae to Architecture: Turning Sargassum into Building MaterialsBrown algae, known as sargassum, are washing up in large amounts on beaches in Brazil, the Caribbean, and the United States. The piles of…
- 3D printed ceramic cooling solutions inspired by termite moundsFor their thesis project at Bartlett School of Architecture in the UK, designer Rameshwari Jonnalagedda designed 3D printed ceramic structures that mimic the porous…
- CicloBrickFor the sustainable production of the CicloBrick, the renewable raw material clay is used in combination with ceramic residual material, which is 'harvested' by New Horizon from donor buildings to be demolished, and manufactured by Wienerberger. This special method contributes to the reduction of ceramic demolition waste and the prevention of waste. New Horizon uses sustainably sourced Dutch river clay as the basic raw material.
- Ceramics made of reclaimed industrial waste by-productsCalled Circular Ceramics, Sara Howard designed a tableware collection made of reclaimed industrial waste by-products, aiming to minimise the consumption of finite raw materials…
- Bricks made from recycled sewage sludgeResearchers from RMIT University of Melbourne, Australia, demonstrated that fire-clay bricks incorporating biosolids, a by-product of wastewater treatment, could be a sustainable solution for…
- MerdacottaThese ceramics, called Merdacotta, are made from cow dung and clay. Merdacotta consists for the most part of dried cow dung, mixed with Tuscan clay, straw and farm waste, in variable quantities. The methane and urea, which is what makes poo smell, are extracted, making the dung odourless.
- Hydroceramic: Intelligent Material PrototypeThe increasing development and application of 'smart' materials in other industries is opening up new possibilities in building design. ‘Digital Matter Intelligent Constructions’, undertaken…
