2018 // TerraPerforma
Terra Performa is a project developed within the Open Thesis Fabrication in IAAC, Barcelona. It focuses on large scale, on-site 3D printing using clay as the building material, while aiming to build a construction with performative design.
The construction parameters are given a functional context, with the design being dictated by natural phenomena, in the sense that not only does it allow it, but it integrates solar and wind behavior into the design approach (the studied phenomena consisted in thermal conductivity, thermal convection, thermal mass, solar radiation and daylighting).

The project combines 3 various postures of 3D Printing – Robotic fabrication, On-Site Printing and Printing with Clay. This proposal comes as a new addition to the additive manufacturing industry since not only it combines the 3 approaches into one, but the final aim of the project is building a performative edifice.
