Abstract

The London-based architecture and design collective Assemble make two kinds of “architectural ceramics”: clay-based objects that ornament buildings, and domestic wares produced as part of larger architectural projects. The collective started the Granby Workshop for the production of unique objects for the home in 2014 and ceramics also feature in contracted architectural projects. This essay positions Assemble’s use of ceramics between the traditions of studio pottery and machine-based ceramic manufacturing. Through discussion of a few recent examples it reveals how the collective are realizing the commercial and pedagogical potential of the medium.
