dc.description.abstract |
This project explores a vernacular technology in the face of climate change, focusing on the efficiency of buried clay pot irrigation systems. 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. |
