Ontwerpen van erosie / Erosie als ontwerp | CHRITH architects

CHRITH architecten is collaborating with ceramicist Berthel van het Goor on a study into how natural processes, such as erosion, can be integrated into architectural design. Materials such as clay and ceramics change under the influence of water and time, and this project explores how this weathering can play a conscious and aesthetic role in the design process.

The first phase of the project will create two objects that are deliberately exposed to erosion, in order to explore the visual and material possibilities of this natural process. The ultimate objective is to apply these techniques more widely in architecture, with erosion becoming a defining part of building design and aesthetics.
