Title:
1.1 Brick Prototypes, Moulds and Casts

Dates of Workshop:
1/11 - 4/11/2011
2/4/ - 5/4/2012

The work centers on the making of building prototypes at scale 1:1, which are developed through digital fabrication and casting, to investigate an architecture that can be self-built. The prototypes are developed in a series of construction workshops where Rhino and CNC milling technology are used to create moulds from which the prototypes are cast. Initially all prototypes are cast in plaster to allow for expedient production and assembly. Material testing in concrete, adobe and clay are carried out through hands-on building where students learn a variety of fabrication skills such as clay slip- casting, adobe brick making and rammed earth applications.
