These self-regulating systems reduce water use by 90% and promote plant survival during droughts. Leveraging 3D printing and algorithmic design, this project iteratively designs optimal forms considering water distribution, volume, and structural integrity. Computational modeling incorporates micro-climate variations for dynamic clay pot irrigation layouts. Pushing design boundaries and embracing digital fabrication, the project addresses a pressing climate challenge, advances landscape architect’s technologies, and serves as a cost-effective model for future adaptation.enCreative Commons BY-NC-ND 4.0-USclay potsirrigationollasThesis / Dissertation
