The project investigates the reaction that occurs in the clay when struck. Layering technique has been developed, mixing different types of fabric above and below the clay. The final solution consists of placing elastic web, then a layer of clay, and over a cotton cloth. 

 

After you hit with a hammer, the top fabric is removed and keep drying for a few hours. The end pieces are hung at different heights, creating a virtual ceiling. This process has been industrialized using an ABB robot hitting the clay under previous orders given by grasshopper.

 

Moreover, the virtual roof is designed according to parameters of acoustic and light according to the room to be occupied, so that each part is different. For this reason the use of the robot becomes essential.
