Passive Cooling

Material ↔ Climate 

A long-term research project investigating how ceramic materials can participate in environmental systems and contribute to climate-responsive architecture through passive cooling. 

By developing ultra-light porous ceramic structures from industrial waste, the project explores how architecture can regulate environmental conditions through material behaviour rather than active energy systems.

Material ↔ Place 

An invited international artistic research project exploring how clay, industry and local identity shape the cultural landscape of a place. 

Developed with Tontouristen Kollektiv and an international group of artists from Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Austria/Latvia and Hungary, the project investigates how geological resources leave social, architectural and cultural traces that continue to influence places long after extraction and production have ended. 

Through site-based research, seminars, symposiums and artistic production, the project explores how material histories become embedded within collective memory and local identity. 

Participants include Anne-Marie Dehon (BE), Jennifer Forsberg (SE), Marilen Rauch (DE), Ane Fabricius Christiansen (DK), Linda Luse (AT/LV), Caroline Mårtensson (SE), Julia K. Persson (NO), Silje Kjörholt (SE) and Edit Szabó (HU/SE). 

Material Experiments and Development

An ongoing material laboratory exploring waste-derived ceramics, geological by-products, porous structures, borosilicate bonding systems and experimental material processes. These investigations generate new material knowledge that supports larger architectural and environmental research projects.
