“Ask a ceramicist and they will insist that the material lives.”

At the crossroads of architecture and material alchemy, Omar Kahn and Laura Garófalo of Liminal Projects explore how ceramics can interact with heat, water, wind, and plant life. During a residency at the European Ceramics Workcentre (EKWC) in the Netherlands, they developed sculptural building components—tiles, bricks, blocks, and vessels—that do more than just form walls. These poetic prototypes respond to climate and nature, reminding us that clay is a living medium, as ancient as Roman aqueducts and as modern as heat shields on space shuttles.
