Clay 3D Printing

Dates:  13-17 August 2018

Volume: 40 hours, 2 ECTS

Location:  Estonian Academy of Arts

Number of participants: max 13

Cost: FREE (Please note that this course is meant for higher education students only.)

Registration deadline:  6th of May

In addition to the general required materials, candidates are expected to submit a letter of motivation explaining why they are applying and what is their experience with 3D printing so far (max A4).

The Department of Ceramics at the Estonian Academy of Arts invites you to participate in an international Clay 3D Printing workshop. Ceramics have properties that allow it to be used in the most disparate fields. We usually don’t consider that ceramics are all around us, not just in kitchenware, but also in bathrooms, swimming pools and public interiors, and that stoves and fireplaces, even houses, are made of fired clay. Top-quality ceramics can be found in medical equipment, audio technology and air and space industry. Clay is sensitive, flexible and versatile material with its’ own technological limits which the participants will learn during the workshop.

3D printing in clay allows us to print three-dimensional objects or models at lower cost and more easily. For ceramists, it represents a new technological possibility, while for others it gives a chance to convert digital sketches into real three-dimensional objects. During this course, participants will learn the technical skills of 3D printing and printing in clay: creating G-code and STL files, plus preparation of the clay and printing. The aim of the course is to use innovative thinking to discover new ways of printing, using clay and the printed ceramics. The end of the workshop will feature a pop-up exhibition of the objects created.

The workshop is aimed at ceramics, architecture and design students, but admission is open to all students who have had experience with 3D printing and know how to create 3D files. Every participant needs to bring their own laptop. All other materials are provided, and students may keep the objects they print.

Homework assignment for selectees:

1) students will be asked to bring one of their 3D-file, print ready

2) students will be asked to come up with a design they would like to execute in the workshop. They will be asked to give a presentation on the design in person. As in a hackathon, they will then set to work on the problem.

On the impact of designers in different organisational structures.

In the second open seminar for IxD.ma, and the first ever for IxDA Tallinn, we invite Ine Marie Vassøy, a Service Design lead from Cisco, to talk about working as a designer in small agencies versus big companies.

Ine is a Service Designer from Norway. She has years of experience working with different agencies, designing services for sectors such as healthcare, telecoms, energy, and finance. She holds an MA in Interaction Design from the Umeå Institute of Design, and has held senior positions in several internationally renown agencies, including Designit in Norway, Fjord and Spotless in London. Currently she is working for Cisco Systems Inc., where she is designing services for the future of collaboration.

Interaction design (IxD) is a theme that has emerged to address the ongoing advancements in technology and the way it relates to people. At IxD.ma we keep a broad view on the field, and cover more areas than what is related to digital technology.

The event is free and open for everyone. Please RSVP on EventBrite:

The next lecturer of the Open Lecture Series this spring semester will be Tania Tovar Torres, stepping on the stage of Kanuti Gildi SAAL (Pikk 20, Tallinn) on 5th of April at 6 pm to talk about ‘In Articulo Mortis’, her latest documentary and literary project exploring alternative ways of architectural preservation.

What happens when a building ceases to exist? ‘Life after time’ makes an argument around the demise and afterlife of a building, and the possibility of architecture no longer surviving as an object –building– but rather as a document, a story. By exploring the histories of buildings after their demise, the lecture narrates the divine tale of ancient Temple of Solomon in Jerusalem and its many replicas in time; the relation between Gordon Matta-Clark’s Office Baroque and a robbery in Chinatown; and the comparison of a legal transcript with reality of an apartment in the Tlatelolco Housing Unit after the Earthquake of 1985 in Mexico City; Linking them to make a case for physical and ideological transformations, documentary reinterpretations and legal reproductions and how they can reconstruct physical space, unveil the multilayered conflicts of the archival and politics of the official in conjunction with popular history to make visible the relativity and fragility of architecture’s weight and materiality before the light but powerful pages of history and its preservation.

Tania Tovar Torres is an architect, writer and curator with an interest for narratives where architecture and the built environment stand as main character. She is founder of Proyector, a curatorial platform and exhibition space based in Mexico City devoted to the promotion of architecture research projects. Tania is currently Director and Chief Curator of Proyector, as well as a consultant for the German Cooperation Agency for Sustainable Development in Mexico. Previously she has worked at the Canadian Centre for Architecture in Montreal, the Arthur Ross Architecture Gallery in New York, the University Museum of Science and Art and the National Council for Educational Development in Mexico City. Her research and work has been published in Arquine (MEX), MAS Context (USA) and ARQ (CHL) Magazines, the CCA (CAN) and the UIC (ESP). Tania graduated as an architect from the National Autonomous University of Mexico, studied at the Stuttgart State Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Germany, and holds a Masters in Critical, Curatorial and Conceptual Practices in Architecture from the Columbia Graduate School of Architecture Planning and Preservation in New York.

Lecture is organised in collaboration with the Museum of Estonian Architecture. It is part of the Future Architecture program which introduces and celebrates innovation, experimentation and the ideas of a generation that will design the architecture and build Europe’s cities in the years to come.

The next lecturer of the Open Lecture Series this spring semester is Boštjan Vuga, stepping on the stage of Kanuti Gildi SAAL (Pikk 20, Tallinn) on 22nd of March at 6 pm to talk about possible future of construction sites that have turned into urban ruins due to economic or political crises.

SADAR+VUGA‘s largest project – Sports Park Stožice in Ljubljana, a hybrid of sports, leisure and commercial programs – was only partially completed due to the recent economic crisis. SADAR+VUGA were involved in an international student workshop searching for possible futures of the large decaying construction site that would be more appropriate for the specific post-capitalist society.

Similarly, the massive structure of the Home of Revolution (architect Marko Mušič) was never finished. It has been sitting in the urban tissue of Nikšić, Montenegro for nearly three decades after the project was abandoned in the 1980s. After winning an international competition for its adaptation and renovation, SADAR+VUGA, HHF Architects and Dijana Vučinić initiated realization of the project’s gradual transition from an urban ruin into a covered public space that generates cultural, social and economic changes in a postindustrial Montenegrin town.

Boštjan Vuga graduated at the Faculty of Architecture in Ljubljana in 1992 and completed the postgraduate masters course at the AA School of Architecture in London from 1993-1995. Together with Jurij Sadar, they founded the SADAR+VUGA (S+V) office in Ljubljana in 1996, which in two decades took place as one of the critical European architectural practices with production and communication based on an open, integral and innovative concept. Their most acclaimed works include Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Slovenia (1996), Central part of the National Gallery, Ljubljana (1996) Stadium and Multipurpose hall Stožice (2010) and Air Traffic Control Centre Ljubljana (2013). The office has received many national and global architectural awards (Bauwelt Prize, Iconic Award, Archmaraton Award, Piranesi award, Plečnik Prize) and eight Mies van der Rohe Award nominations. Additionally the teach and critic internationally acknowledged universities and Vuga was a co-curator at the Montenegro Pavilion, “Treasures in Disguise” at the14th Venice Biennale of Architecture “Fundamentals”, Venice 2014.
