In the first part of this two-part workshop, Ceramicist Melanie Schopper taught a group of interior design students how to make reproducible clay tiles.  Fourteen students attended the workshop where they learned how to hand carve patterns they designed into 4 ½” x 4 ½” clay tiles.  Each student had the opportunity to design two tiles and many chose to work outside the traditional square form.  Triangles, trapezoids, and hexagons appeared and a few students carved their tile into smaller pieces that would fit back together after firing.

The city, the domestic, the infrastructural and the natural have been seen as independent realms, and architecture as the science to keep them apart. It is time for a change. Andrés Jaque and the Office for Political Innovation explore what is the architecture that can succeed on ensambling them all. The talk will include projects like COSMO (MoMA PS1), ESCARAVOX, or House in Never Never Land.
