Minimal Matter
Permeable interior walls from 3D-printed minimal-surface clay modules.
Minimal Matter investigates modular clay components derived from minimal-surface geometry. The research connects computational design with clay extrusion to explore permeable interior wall systems.
The prototype studies examine the relationship between continuous surfaces, openings, and the layered texture of 3D printing. The gallery documents physical models from the ongoing research.
