It takes an average of 39 years for a new technology to become normalized. 3D printing ceramics was invented in 2010, so by this measure, we will see 3D-printed ceramic objects, interiors, and buildings as commonplace by 2049. The Future Archeologies Project takes place in Faenza, Italy, a town rich in clay deposits, pottery, and … Read More
SKYLOS is a land art installation in the dark sky high alpine desert of Colorado’s San Luis Valley. Skylos is comprised of 8—3D printed earthen silos, each containing views of the sky viewed from 8,000 ft above sea level. It is the first 3D-printed earthen building in the world to be permitted for construction and the … Read More
Casa Covida, a house for co-habitation in the time of covid, is an experiment in 3D printing earth, an indigenous and traditional building material, to explore new and ancient ways of living. The experimental case-study house is sited in the high alpine desert of Colorado’s San Luis Valley, where adobe, a combination of sand, silt, … Read More
The Sexy Beasts are co-botic vessels that demonstrate how robots and humans can work together to exploit the opportunities and limitations that occur when 3D printing with clay. No two vessels will ever be the same. These vessels are 3D printed out of a local clay body called Red Velvet from Northern California, where the … Read More
The Future Archeologies Project takes place in Faenza, Italy, a town rich in clay deposits, pottery and brick traditions. In this project, new 3D-printed bricks are installed among the ancient column fragments in a local archeology exhibit at ISIA, The Higher Institute for Artistic Industries. The installation highlights both the handmade traditional bricks and the … Read More
On the 40th anniversary of the Smithsonian Magazine, they announced the 40 things you need to know about the next 40 years. Number one on that list was: “Sophisticated buildings will be made of mud”. Emerging Objects explores these frontiers of technology and material using traditional materials (clay, water, and wheat straw), to push the … Read More
One of the greatest ecological challenges of our time is to prevent the ongoing degradation and potential collapse of the world’s coral reefs. To sustain healthy coral reefs, we need a strategic, coordinated effort that targets breakthroughs in marine science, conservation, and worldwide education. Emerging Objects and SECORE International (SExual COral REproduction), a leading conservation organization … Read More
