***Winner of the 2023 BTES Book Award*** Architectural Terra Cotta examines the evolution of terra cotta and prepares architects and builders to make new, creative uses of the timeless material. Terra cotta is among the oldest of manufactured building products, yet it has once again become a material of choice in contemporary façade design. From the walls of Babylon to high performance rainscreens, terra cotta claddings have repeatedly proven to be technically superior and aesthetically triumphant. Understanding the evolution of terra cotta prepares architects to add new, creative chapters to a rich history. This book describes the key attributes that recommend the use of terra cotta and explain its continuing success. The core of the book traces the many ways that terra cotta can be formed, finished and applied to buildings. These techniques demonstrate the full potential of the material, showing how its unique capabilities have been developed over time. A comprehensive inventory of recent examples, project case studies and architectural details, this book provide a basis for understanding the nature of the material and the opportunities it offers in new work. With over 150 color images, this volume provides a concise resource for all those considering terra cotta as a façade system: architects, façade engineers, cladding subcontractors, materials suppliers, developers and prospective clients. With inspiring examples of expressive possibility, this invaluable book will find a home with students and professionals alike interested in making rich, colorful and durable buildings.

Excerpt from Terra-Cotta in Architecture A complete history of the use of clay as a constructive or decorative material in architecture, would be analogous to that of civilization itself with its advances and declines, for the authentic records of this branch of pottery are older than those of any other ceramic production, extending through forty-one centuries. The art of pottery is the most ancient and universal of all, including as it does, in its widest sense, all objects made of clay moulded into form while in a moist, plastic state, and then hardened by fire. (Encyclopaedia Britannica, article "Pottery," 9th Edition.) Connecting itself on the one hand with geology and chemistry, on the other with painting and sculpture, pottery is the natural outgrowth of two of the first necessities of man's existence: the preparation of food and the need of shelter. It is thus intimately identified with the domestic and social life of all races. Its productions are the most enduring of man's handiwork. Objects that have out-lived history are to be viewed not only as specimens of the condition of the art at the time of their production, but as exponents of the habits and domestic life, and the aesthetics of races long since passed away.
