TERRACOTTA – Shapes of Cooling is our three-month residency in Vietnam in spring 2027, where we ask a simple question: as the climate grows warmer, what role can an old material like terracotta play in the way we design?

Long before air conditioning, fired clay shaped the indoor climate of a home – storing coolness, breathing with the humidity, taking the edge off the heat. Working alongside local ceramicists, architects and artisans, we explore what that knowledge can mean for contemporary spaces, objects and products.

These are our field notes from the ground. Supported by the Swiss Arts Council Pro Helvetia. To be continued…

Thanks for making the best out of us 😉 @josschmidstudio @studio101zurich . . . #kreativkonsum #portrait #photography
