A pottery workshop

A. Claim your space -- a pottery workshop
The primary objective of this exercise was to develop an understanding of the relationship between construction, structure and design through material-based tectonic thinking. The process began by selecting a function for the built intervention, which was developed as a pottery workshop, followed by resolving its spatial and architectural design.

Different materials such as rammed earth, wattle and daub, stone and brick were then introduced into the proposal, allowing material properties and construction systems to inform the design. Joineries between the various elements were studied and resolved, and a physical model was developed to better understand the spatial qualities, structural relationships and construction details of the workshop.
