Shedding Water is a material research project undertaken alongside Isabel Ochoa and James Clarke-Hicks. It integrates water management into a continuous clay cladding system using computer-aided printing technology. Following a preliminary study of the cultural and historic use of clay as a facade material, the project was imagined as a rain screen system on a supporting sub-structure. The design takes advantage of the material’s plasticity and impermeability to concentrate the flow of water to a single point in the eave, creating an architectural feature similar to a scupper or rain-chain. By exploring the limitations inherent in earthenware and 3D printing, this project considers contemporary and innovative applications for masonry within a building envelope. The project was first exhibited at the Canadian Clay and Glass Gallery between January and April, 2020, and, in 2022, won the International Masonry Institute’s JBC Innovation Award.
