About Drift Antibakteriyal na Seramika na Panakip sa Dingding

Ang mga panel ng seramika para sa dingding ay maaaring tumayo nang nag-iisa ngunit nakakabuo rin ng mga pattern ng tuloy-tuloy na biswal sa pamamagitan ng modulasyon, isang prosesong walang katapusan na tumutukoy sa mga motif ng Islam na lumalawak nang walang hanggan. Ang kanilang kombinasyon ay lumilikha ng mga geometric na pattern sa pamamagitan lamang ng simpleng pag-ikot ng slab, upang makamit ang pinakamataas na antas ng customization gamit ang pinakakaunting bilang ng mga elemento ng konstruksyon. Ang module ay balansado sa pagitan ng geometric at abstract upang umangkop sa iba't ibang kapaligiran at ambiyente, na may mga aplikasyon mula sa maliit hanggang sa malaking sukat.

The Recognition

About the A' Design Award na Platino

Ang Drift Antibakteriyal na Seramika na Panakip sa Dingding ay nagwagi ng A' Design Award na Platino, isang napakaprestihiyosong pagkilalang iginagawad sa mga tunay na pambihira, elegante at kahanga-hangang disenyo. Ang mga nagwagi ng Platino ay mga kababalaghan ng paglikha, patunay sa mga hangganan ng intelektuwal na pagkamalikhain, at nagpapakita ng walang kapantay na propesyonalismo at henyo ng kanilang mga tagapagdisenyo. Inaasahang ang mga disenyong ito ang pinakakilalang likha na humuhubog sa estetika ng isang panahon, nag-aambag sa kapakanan ng lipunan at nagtutulak sa mga hangganan ng sining, agham, disenyo at teknolohiya. Ang Drift Antibakteriyal na Seramika na Panakip sa Dingding ay nagpapakita ng lampas-sa-karaniwang antas ng kahusayan at walang pasubaling ginagawang mas mabuting lugar ang mundo dahil sa kapaki-pakinabang at mahahalagang katangian nito. Ang Drift Antibakteriyal na Seramika na Panakip sa Dingding ay isang likhang nagwagi ng A' Design Award na Platino na gumigising sa mga hangarin, nagbibigay-inspirasyon, nagpapasigla, nagpapasaya at nagpapasiklab ng dakilang kagalakan.

Unique Properties
Ceramic wall panels can stand on their own but also develop patterns of visual continuity through modulation, an open ended process referring to Islamic motifs expanding infinitely. Their combination generates geometric patterns by simple rotation of slab, in order to achieve maximum degree of customisation with minimum use of construction elements. Module balances between geometric and abstract to fit different environments and ambience, with applications ranging from small to large scale.
Dimensions & Packaging
Active Surfaces natural materials combine science and design to improve wellbeing in spaces people live in. Active Surfaces turn ceramic slabs into an ecoactive material with four superior properties which are antibacterial and antiviral, antipollution, antiodour and selfcleaning certified to ISO standards. These materials can degrade bacteria and viruses including SARS CoV2, polluting particles and molecules responsible for bad odours. Ecoactive surface is also more resistant to dirt making it easier to clean.

Production Technology
DYS is a versatile on demand decoration service patented by Iris Ceramica, making possible to produce any kind of decoration on ceramic surfaces. The result is a unique customisation that turns ceramics into an authentic art form. Taking advantage of innovative printing possibilities, a dynamic dialogue with technology and progress is materialised combining abstract with geometric. Continuous ripples add plasticity to flat surfaces, reflecting continuity of printing process and technical features behind manufacture of ceramic slabs.
Design Challenge
Underscoring the relation among the conformation and the medium that is composed of, craft becomes a visual expression of the making activity as configuration seizes the memory of raw matter in the finished product. Converting impressions to physicality, place and memory are captured and preserved in space. Interplay of reflections and patterns reveals different textures in pools, spas and wellness centres. A visual reflection of people’s circulation in stations, shopping centres and public areas, flow is converted to spatial experience.
Research
With reference to traditional ceramics illustrating long history of building with earth, pottery lines highlight our common roots and deep connection with earth. Converting environment to artefact by combining natural and humanmade, project strengthens the correlation between material and final product through a conceptual process which underscores links among form and substance. Through visual and physical linkages, ceramic slabs design forges a strong link with what is made of, matter extracted from earth.
Inspiration
Inspired by natural landscape of Emirates the ceramic wall panels capture essence of place while bringing physical scenery in the manufactured. Linear pattern mimics sand ridges as curved and parabolic lines formed by interaction with wind engraving land are translated to fluid geometry, taking cues from landscape topographical contouring. Referring to unique local geography, desert dunes and terrain contours shaped by the wind illustrate how human trace intersects with the trace of time.
Project Duration
The project was completed in 2023.
Operation Flow
Encountering movement and plasticity, vibrations and pulses activate surfaces complementing ceramic slab texture and tactility. Employing metallic inks and tonal adjustments in combination with the wide range of Iris Ceramica slabs, users can add personality and distinctiveness in domestic habitat. Applied as cladding in building envelopes, geometric combinations form a dialogue with mutability of topography and urban environment.
