Shingler
Project Type
Developing a futuristic design process
Date
2022
Collaborators
Supervised by Safi Hefetz, Industrial design department at bezalel academy.
Developed in collaboration with the research group of Prof. Eran Sharon and Dr. Arielle Blonder
SHINGLER offers a futuristic, sustainable design approach that uses Self-shaping clay to craft complex façades for addressing climate challenges. Enabling on-site fabrication reduces transportation impact, while the façade’s design is optimized for hot climates through two passive cooling strategies: the overall geometry incorporates traditional desert methods, such as wind tunnels, and the surface integrates hydrogel within clay grooves to absorb dew and gradually release moisture, cooling the environment.
