Book excerpt: New Wave Clay unpicks the zeitgeist and aesthetic of an exciting discipline with intelligence, insight and indulgence. Against the backdrop of the digital age and shiny screens, a whole new generation of craftspeople, designers and artists are realizing the pleasure of working with clay and bringing a fresh perspective to the material. Today, there is a lively crossover between craft, design, sculpture and technology that is rethinking ceramics: what you can make with it, what it looks like and who makes it. New Wave Clay is a global survey of 55 imaginative ceramicists that are leading this craft revival. They include classically trained potters who create design-led pieces, product designers who use clay as a means of creative expression, as well as fine artists, architects, decorators, illustrators, sculptors and graphic designers. Their collective output goes far beyond pots into ceramic furniture, sculpture, murals, wall reliefs, small-scale architecture and 3D printing. The book is divided into four thematic sections and features special contributions from Edmund de Waal, Hella Jongerius, Grayson Perry, Martin Brudnizki and Sarah Griffin discussing craft, industry, ornament, decorating and collecting. New Wave Clay is an image-led, dynamic study of the exciting new generation jumpstarting this age-old art. Features - A 296-page survey of 55 international ceramicists who bridge the worlds of product design, interiors, fine art and luxury craftsmanship. - Four thematic chapters are accompanied by interviews and written contributions on the subject from designers, decorators and collectors. - Richly illustrated, New Wave Clay is an image-led, dynamic book that aims to demonstrate the contemporary condition of this age-old art. - Instead of focusing on traditional craft ware and functional pieces, this title focuses on the community of ceramicists who create design-led works.
Download or read book The Mingqi Pottery Buildings of Han Dynasty China 206 BC AD 220 written by Qinghua Guo and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 2016-01-01 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An enormous number of burial objects have been unearthed from ancient tombs in archaeological excavations in China. These mingqi were made in all kinds of materials and in a broad range of forms, techniques and craftsmanship. In this book Quinghua Guo examines a particular type of mingqi -- pottery building. The striking realism of the pottery buildings suggests that they were modelled after actual buildings. They bring to life courtyard houses, manors, towers, granaries and pigsty-privies, as well as cooking ranges and well pavilions. These pottery buildings, previously little known, preserve knowledge of antiquity and demonstrate the architectural quality and structural variety of the period. The author identifies the typology of the pottery buildings they signify in terms of ontology and semiology, in order to provide a conceptual map for classification, and identifies building systems reflected by the mingqi to detect architectonic systems of the Han dynasty. Key features of this volume include: Cross-disciplinary research -- architectural study interlocking with archaeological study; architectural study interlocking with graphic study. The Han pottery buildings are important architectural models from the ancient world, and are contrasted with wooden houses of Middle-Kingdom Egypt and brick buildings of the Minor civilisation, Crete, allowing cross-cultural comparisons.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Far beyond its long-standing decorative and protective use, architectural ceramics has matured into a material system of great potential. Triggered by material research, design computation and digital fabrication methods, the innovations in ceramic technology are enabling expanded applications for ceramics as a multi-functional, performative material system. Ceramic material systems comprise the full ecosystem from material extraction and processing to the assembly of construction elements and their eventual reuse and recycling. This book establishes the state of the art of this quickly emerging field, with a particular interest in presenting the knowledge needed for developing project-specific solutions that often involve custom ceramic elements. The authors provide a rigorous background of the materials and associated technologies as well as inspiration from the very best contemporary buildings using ceramic systems, along with an overview of emerging ceramic technologies and research. The main section of the book is supplemented with a descriptive and critically commented listing of the most interesting and innovative ceramic products on the market today, ranging from interior tile products to complex active façade systems and roof products.

Book excerpt: The first book to document the history of the groundbreaking company Architectural Pottery, tracing its critical influence on midcentury design and its enduring appeal today Architectural Pottery's strikingly minimalist designs heralded new domestic housewares that could uniquely accent the modern home--inside and out. Formally expressive yet accessible, their refreshingly unembellished, elegant pots and planters were enthusiastically received by the public upon Architectural Pottery's launch in 1950, soon ubiquitous in spaces representing the epitome of modern living. Highly coveted and prized in design circles, they were seen in houses by Richard Neutra, John Lautner, and the historic Case Study Houses, and featured in the first of MoMA's legendary Good Design exhibitions alongside now-iconic designs by Ray and Charles Eames, Alexander Girard, and George Nelson. Over three decades, Architectural Pottery also developed innovations in stoneware production, expanded into fiberglass furniture, and included famed furniture designer Paul McCobb and sculptor David Cressey on its roster of designers. A midcentury modern design enthusiast's dream, Architectural Pottery: Ceramics for a Modern Landscape is the first full history of this celebrated and influential brand. Richly illustrated with contemporary photography and extensive visual archival material--including the records of the founders Rita and Max Lawrence, and the personal archives of designers, art directors, and photographers associated with the company--it both tells a compelling story and is a valuable resource for collectors and interior designers. The publication of this new book will coincide with a major exhibition at the American Museum of Ceramic Art in Pomona, California.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Architectural Pottery: Bricks, Tiles, Pipes, Enamelled Terracottas, Ordinary and Incrusted Quarries, Stoneware Mosaic, Faiences, and Architectural Stoneware M. Lefevre's work on the use of pottery in architecture appears at a fortunate moment, for natural building materials such as wood and stone already show signs of exhaustion in those districts where they formerly existed in abundance. The rapid exhaustion of quarries from which we have drawn for years obliges us to get supplies from greater and greater distances, and so to raise inordinately the price of building-stones. We can only replace them by calling to our aid artificial materials, such as iron, brick, terra-cotta, cement, etc. Ancient examples of the substitution of terra-cotta for stone are frequent in Persia. Jules Laurens and Dieulasoy have shown them to us in the imposing buildings which they have sketched and reproduced from the remarkable ruins excavated on the sites of ancient cities like Suse. In the Milan district, in Italy, the cloisters of the Carthusian Monastery at Pavia, the Milan Hospital, and many other fine buildings, present splendid examples of the use of bricks and terra-cotta decoration. Even while the sculptors of the Renaissance were carving from stone the lacework, arabesques, and statues which make the buildings of that period gems of architecture, the genius of the Delia Robias, that family of artists, was achieving a triumph for decorative pottery. But generally, it is those countries which lack building-stone and possess clay, that especially offer us interesting edifices constructed of artificial materials.
