Night Garden

Check out this great research seminar and commissioned project by Ronald Rael and his students at Berkeley. Using CNC milled plaster, slipcast porcelain forms were fabricated. The first part of the project explored the possibilities of this technique in relation to tiling patterns while the second part of the project focused on the installation of the Night Garden, a wall composed of LED lights, water-filled vessels, and porcelain tiles. The Night Garden is a commissioned work by Rael San Fratello Architects and installed at DesCours in New Orleans.
