	Whether terracotta, faience, vitreous China, porcelain or other artefacts, ceramics have been used throughout history for both functional and decorative purposes. Their lasting appeal has also created a revival of interest in the past few years. So, it is timely that The Building Centre’s latest exhibition explores the role that ceramics play in contemporary architecture and focuses on the diversity of use – from hand-held objects to urban-scale interventions.

	One of the star features on display is the robotic arm created by researchers at Grymsdyke Farm for making clay constructions. Also of note are the innovative and creative schemes such as the bespoke tile production by Assemble; a sound installation made up of experimental ceramic surfaces by ECAlab; prototype elements for Homerton Hall by Feilden Fowles; façade samples from Penoyre & Prasad’s Brunel University building; iridescent tiles from the Stirling Prize nominated Tate St Ives by Jamie Fobert Architects; examples of the collaboration between Eric Parry and artist Richard Deacon for One Eagle Place, and work from seminal Spanish studio Ceràmica Cumella.
