The Architecture Ceramic Assemblies Workshop 2021 is presented by Boston Valley Terra Cotta, CMU School of Architecture, and the University at Buffalo School of Architecture and Planning.
ACAW brings together professionals from the architectural industry and academia, offering participants the opportunity to explore innovative building solutions and further their understanding of architectural terra cotta for large-scale assemblies. Now in its 6th year, research and experimentation at past ACAWorkshops have culminated into real-world projects currently in development.
