“AfterRain” explores a ceramic tile system inspired by overlapping scales and shingle tile assemblies, creating a modular surface that is both functional and expressive.

The project’s goal was to design and fabricate ceramic tiles capable of interoperability to form a complex, functional 1:1 rainscreen assembly.

Through repetition and overlap, the tiles create a dynamic rain screen that enhances water management while producing texture, depth, and shadow. The project investigates how sustainable ceramic fabrication can transform natural water processes into an architectural façade element as well as provide a look into innovative ways of making.
