Ceramics for Building and Environment

At the end of the course, students should be able to 1. state the importance of ceramics in the sustainability environment; 2. conceptualize and develop appropriate themes for executing monumental ceramics in different environments; 3. use appropriate ceramic forming techniques, media and tools to actualise ceramic products meant for the building industry; and 4. manipulate textures, symbols, sprigs and motifs for surface embellishment.

Develop creative concepts by extensively using ceramic materials in a sustainable manner for the production of unique functional ceramics such as tiles, tesserae, wall claddings, bricks, ceramic fittings. for the built environment – design of both interior and exterior spaces. Develop ceramic prototypes for architectural applications and the processes for mass production. Harness all forms of knowledge on the elements and principles of designs, product specifications and ergonomic standards in the making of their 3-dimensional objects.
