Building on work from the inaugural ACAW in 2016, this workshop will gather architects, engineers, ceramic artists and manufacturers to explore state of the art applications for terracotta in architecture. The focus will be on bioclimatic performance, where environmental factors like light, heat, cold, wind and precipitation are thoughtfully addressed by designs that utilize ceramic’s material qualities and properties.
