PROTOCERAMICS
Protoceramics is an ongoing experiment geared towards producing novel material formations with a special interest in tectonic performance.
Conducted by the Material Processes and Systems (MaPS) group at Harvard University, the project investigates the latest generation of thin, large-format ceramic tiles, which presently are largely used as an interior surface finish or exterior cladding.
The work pursues three different material manipulations – cutting, folding, and bending – and explores the inherent opportunities of these strategies towards the production of self-supporting assemblies.
