This is my Final Assignment project for campus, It was a ceramic ventilation block that known in Indonesia as "Roster", while im creating is a ceramic wind blocker. Beside the function as ventilation holes, it was used as a wind blocker, that not all the wind could trespass.

 

Using stoneware material burned till 1230 degrees of celcius or using cone 7 on the firing process, so it could be used as an exterior element that giving the function as it is, also giving the visual stand up for your exterior garden or balcony. The use of LED lighting on this project gives another function as lighting element on evening. Gives you the warm feelings towards the cold night, while youre having a romantic dinner on the outside of your building.

 

 

Making process was using the slip casting techniques, im creating about 20 gypsum mold, with 4 sides on each piece of molds, and one mold for pressure casting to make the paper like ceramic.

These are the first sketch for the Roster model:
