Material Matters and Interstyle Ceramics and Glass LTD; - Emergent Artisanal Glass and CeramicMaterial Technologies for Manufacture
FY 2016-17
Summary
Material Matters - Emergent Artisanal Glass and Ceramic Material Technologies for Manufacture. MaterialMatters is a Research Centre at Emily Carr University of Art + Design actively exploring through design ledinquiry, the material science in 3D printing, its pragmatic potential, and the ethical and ecological ramificationsof the technology. We propose an applied research partnership between Emily Carr University and InterstyleCeramics and Glass LTD, an established Vancouver-based designer and manufacturer of glass and ceramicproducts for interior design and architecture. Interstyle has a strong focus on material innovation and customerpersonalization. Since their inception 30 years ago, they have invested heavily in material research anddevelopment for glass an ceramic production. As a result they have strong material assets in the form of mouldmaterials and glaze formulation. Drawing on these assets, the purpose of the project is to develop innovativematerial pathways sustaining in house R&D by investigating new avenues for product development, in housematerial innovation, and cost-effective design research methods enabled by new digital processes, productionand additive manufacturing technologies. This research project will use design and novel material productionmethods to investigate and discover new direct digital material pathways for the development of sustainableglass and ceramic tile. Our investigation will produce iterative aesthetic designs and 3D printable models thatwill be analyzed for aesthetics, form and function.
