Tiles of the city

e interest for the inner city is big, not least among architects and developers and according to the comprehensive plan of the municipality a big part of the future housing stock will happen through

e chosen site has a central location cked car road Västra

ce building from 1969 and a parking.

c along Västra esplanaden to a ringroad around the city further opens up for development of the area.

Densifying a city comes with a responsibilty to care for the its existing built structures ce building on the site is a rigid structure

e space in-between becomes a courtyard for the residents but also serves the city with public space, which the street lacks.

ce building has the only glazed ceramic facade in the city. To make the new buildings communicate with the existing one they share the same facade material. Because of the ceramics good durability and the aestethically appealing expression the material is used for the two new buildings on the site.

e project further investigates of the ceramic material with the result of creating a e tactility, scale, proportions, tectonics are aspects that is studied through study trips, fabrication and modelling throughout the project

e production of ceramic tiles is taking place in an atelier Gustavsberg with ce building three

Th e existing offi ce building as seen from the parking. It is well designed with qualitative

materials such as ceramics, copper and teak. Th e rigid concrete structure makes it well-suited for additions.

Th e ceramic facade is composed from brown tiles in segments of 7x6 tiles cladded to sandwich elements. Th e surface of the tiles has a beautiful unevenness and the seams are distinguished through their thickness. Depending on the light conditions the facade seemingly alternate between color nuances and refl exion.

Seen from the crossing of Västra Esplanaden and Kungsgatan. Th e building has a much darker appearance on cloudy days.

Th e uneven surface can be seen up-close. Th ese tiles where produced in Höganäs.

Not the tiles nor the joints have been maintained since they where mounted in

1969.

Densifi cation strategy

Housing through addition on existing building and building on ground

A partly public courtyard helps extending Kungsgatan across Västra Eplanaden Västra Esplanaden reduces the barrier

between the city center and the site

Densifi cation strategy: Th e existing offi ce building is however 4 m wider 16 m and the strategy is to keep the dimensions of 12 m for a generous courtyard open to Kungsgatan. Th is leaves 8 m for a new building along the western border of the real estate. Th e proportions 16-12-8 creates well functioning rhythm in plan.

Week 16. Visiting the building material library at ETH in Zürich to collect inspiration from a wide range of ceramic tiles.

Week 17. Visiting the Agrob Buchtal ceramic factory in southern Germany.

THE PROCESS OF CERAMIC TILE PRODUCTION

Raw clay storage area.

Agrob Buchtals laboratory for pigment testing and experimenting with glazing.

Th e factory’s longest tunnel kiln.

Th e clay needs drying prior to fi ring.

Some of the chemicals and oxides used for glazing.

Week 39. Aft er fi rst fi ring cycle. Th e tiles becomes rigid and gets a paler tone and they can be glazed.

I am creating a glazing matrix from mixing diff erent proportions of oxides. Th e bags to the right contains copper oxide, iron oxide and cobolt oxid which is mixed with a glazing mixture containing chalk, dolomite, talc and quartz + water.

Th e tiles are glazed and with the various glazing mixtures and the kiln is being loaded with test pieces.

Week 40. Th e kiln reached the right temperature and the second fi ring is successful.

Eight favourite nuances are chosen for batch 2.

Th e sunlight intensifi es the color spectrum of the glazed tiles. Th ree main nuances can be distinguished. Iron oxide gives brown, copper oxide green and cobolt oxide blue.

Week 38. Batch No 1. My own production starts by creating clay test samples on which I will try out diff erent glazing mixtures

I am also creating a fi rst batch of tiles, which is almost like baking. I use a pin roll and diff erent tools to make textures in the clay.

Process of ceramic tile production

(22)

Th e most successful tiles from batch No 2. Th e diff erent sizes of the cavities has a charm but I will still create a plaster die to be able to uniform the expression of the tiles.

Th e plaster die is pressed to the clay to create a three-dimensional pattern.

Week 46. Batch No 3. Th e plaster die enables easier and faster production of tiles which is needed for the this last batch that will become the mock-up.

Shown tiles are 340x65x13mm but will shrink to 300x60x12m aft er fi rst fi ring cycle.

Batch No 3 fi nished, needs to dry before fi rst fi ring cycle.

Week 47. All of batch No 3 aft er fi rst fi ring cycle. Th ere are four diff erent shapes that will have three diff erent glazing nuances.

Th e chosen test tiles from batch No 2 are models for the production of glazing for batch No 3.

Facade test. Th e continuous off setted facade is too anxious.

Th e glazing has the texture of yogurth and is being applied to the tiles with a brush.

Week 43. Batch No 2. Th e second batch has gone through fi rst fi ring cycle and have glazing applied waiting to go through second fi ring cycle.

Week 44. Th e second fi ring cycle is quite successful and the tiles appears with varia- tion in size, glazing and surface texture. Th e glazing should fi ll up the cavities to get a smoother surface. I will add more glazing to the next batch.

Week 49. Opening kiln aft er second fi ring cycle. Production of mock-up can begin.

Full scale test on wall Testing diff erent full scale versions of window detailing.

Recreating a 1:1 mock-up facade with printed paper tiles to get a better perception of the facade.

Th e window sill becomes more accentuated with horizontal tiles.

Tests with diff erent color combinations. Brown accentuates better.

Early stage tiling composition around balcony.

Facade module without off setted tiles. Too sober.
