Ceramics as a Psychological Dimension of Architecture. The Clay House Project Emerged from a Collaboration Between Students and Cihelna Kadaň
The interdisciplinary project Clay House tested how student work can collaborate with industry practitioners. Developed jointly by the ceramics and architecture studios at UMPRUM in Prague, mixed teams from both studios designed partial elements that harness the properties of brick for both the interior and exterior of the human dwelling. The aim was not only to explore new possibilities of the material, but also—more broadly—to reflect on the spaces we inhabit. Several student proposals were successfully taken into production and added directly to the product range of Cihelna Kadaň (Kadaň Brickworks).
