This collection of architectural models presents an alternative possibility for the future of architectural production — one that recognizes how indigenous material practices can be a vital component of contemporary technology-based design. Through the use of additive manufacturing robots and custom software, these objects, made with traditional earthen materials demonstrate that coupling advanced manufacturing technology with traditional craft can be a way forward to create new designs that grow from an indigenous knowledge base.
Both models are 3D printed out of a local micaceous clay body that absorbs thermal shock which makes the pieces strong during firing, and also allows them to sparkle beautifully in the light. These models are representations for future buildings that will be made using these same techniques, however at a larger scale.
