Abstract

Textile column is a series of 3D printed ceramic tiles that are a prototype for an ornamental, fire-resistant cladding system for structural steel. The piece offers a critical practice against the state of the art by reimagining architectural ceramics in the digital age using Semperian metaphors of textile and dressing as design principles. The approach is illustrative of an alternative to the complex computational design meth-ods that dominate the field with greater focus on architectural theory and analogue thinking. The aim of this prototype is to question how we design using paste-based additive manufacturing technologies from an architectural perspective and explore 3D printed clay for its ornamental and fire-resistant qualities.
