Abstract
As we are discovering more and more how much the built environment, especially during construction and dis-assembly , has on our planet, We as architects need to constantly re-assess our approach to our designs. From the materials we use, and the construction techniques.

Throughout studying this masters programme, I have been fascinated by how we can change this through a combination of material choice, design techniques and new fabrication methods.

Felted Clay is a culmination of these interests and investigations. It is an exploration of the relationships between materials, fabrication, and form. Discovering the possibilities and limitations which robotic felting brings, how it combines with clay, and finally what architectural... (More)
