Jenseits der dekorativen Keramikfliesen hat sich eine reiche Kultur von teils experimentellen, teils marktgängigen Anwendungen keramischer Baumaterialien entwickelt: Aktuelle Errungenschaften aus Materialforschung, Fertigungstechnologie und digitalen Entwurfsmethoden sind für dieses traditionelle Material verfügbar, dessen historische Bedeutung in seiner faszinierenden Ausstrahlung präsent ist.Multifunktionale, hoch performative Produkte werden hier als ganzheitliches “Ökosystem” von der Materialgewinnung und Produktgestaltung über den Entwurfsprozess und die konstruktive Umsetzung bis hin zur Wiederverwendung dargestellt. Besonderes Augenmerk liegt auf der individuellen Zurichtung der Einzelelemente unter gleichzeitiger Massenfertigung und computergesteuerter Montage, wie sie heute immer wichtiger wird.Zahlreiche Beispiele, darunter aus dem deutschsprachigen Raum das Museum Brandhorst, das Museum der Kulturen Basel, das Jüdische Gemeindezentrum in Mainz und die Hamburger Behörde für Stadtentwicklung und Umwelt, machen die führende europäische Rolle auf diesem Gebiet anschaulich. Im Anhang: ein kommentiertes Produktverzeichnis.

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.
