Cevisama, que celebrará su próxima edición del 1 al 5 de febrero en Feria Valencia, acogerá un año más la muestra Trans-hitos. Una exposición que se desarrolla este año bajo el lema Armonías, gracias al apoyo de la Asociación Española de Fabricantes de Azulejos y Pavimentos Cerámicos (Ascer) y el diseño y ejecución, a cargo del Instituto de Tecnología Cerámica (ITC).

Según explican miembros de la organización de Trans/Hitos 16: “Hemos elegido el lema “Armonías” entendido como el equilibrio, proporción y correspondencia adecuada entre las diferentes unidades de un conjunto. Un conjunto formado por empresas y profesionales de distintas disciplinas y orígenes aunados en un proyecto común que pretende potenciar y evidenciar las capacidades de la cerámica.

Nuevamente estarán presentes en Trans-Hitos arquitectos, diseñadores, fabricantes, técnicos, comunicadores…que plantean, resuelven, construyen entornos, y que son referencias para futuras aplicaciones de los productos que hoy se producen en el entorno industrial cerámico. Trans-Hitos, con Armonías nos volverá a ofrecer una aproximación visionaria capaz de reflejar el espectacular resurgir de la cerámica en la arquitectura contemporánea”.

En Trans/Hitos 2016, que será ya la 12ª convocatoria, se podrán ver los proyectos más relevantes surgidos de la Red de Cátedras de Cerámica puesta en marcha por ASCER que está en funcionamiento desde el año 2004 (http://www.catedraceramica.es/)

En otra de las instalaciones y en el interior de una cúpula geodésica de siete metros de diámetro se podrá contemplar una exposición de los proyectos premiados en la XIV edición de los Premios Cerámica de Ascer.

Además, se presentará el proyecto: La Casita de Papel, obra del estudio Mixuro. Se trata del proyecto ganador del Concurso convocado por Cevisama, ASCER y el ITC entre arquitectos e interioristas a fin de dinamizar el espacio Trans/Hitos, que como en cada edición, se despliega a lo largo de 600 metros cuadrados en el  distribuidor central del recinto de Feria Valencia, ubicado en el Nivel 2, en el cruce de pabellones.

La zona expositiva se completará con un nuevo proyecto actualmente en desarrollo en la GSD (Graduate School of Design) de la Universidad de Harvard, liderado por el arquitecto Martin Bechthold y basado en la técnica de la extrusión cerámica.

TRANS/HITOS: HARMONIES AT CEVISAMA 2016 // Trans-Hitos is the Ceramics for Architecture Exhibition, on for the 12th time at the Valencia Trade Fair during the Cevisama trade show. Under the slogan “Harmonies”, Trans-Hitos is unfolding across 600 m2 in the Centre Mall on Level 2, at the pavilion crossover, from 1 to 5 February 2016.

The term “Harmonies” signals the quest for equilibrium, proportion, and appropriate correspondence between the different units of a group. A group that, in the case of the Trans-Hitos Exhibition, brings together companies and professionals with different backgrounds and starting points, working together on a common project primarily aimed at promoting and showcasing the capabilities of ceramics.

Trans-Hitos 2016 features architects, designers, interior decorators, manufacturers, technicians, communicators, etc., who put forward, solve, and construct environments that will become a reference for future applications of the products being manufactured today in the industrial ceramic context.

Through “Harmonies”, Trans-Hitos provides a visionary approach that reflects the spectacular resurgence of ceramics in contemporary architecture. The show is fostered by the Cevisama Organisation, with the collaboration of the Spanish Ceramic Tile Manufacturers’ Association (ASCER), and is designed, executed and coordinated by the Instituto de Tecnología Cerámica (ITC) Habitat Area.

EXHIBITION AREAS:

Space 1: Ceramic Tile Studies Department Expo 2016. ASCER Network of Ceramic Tile Studies Departments. Area devoted to displaying the work of the students from the different Ceramic Tile Studies Departments promoted by ASCER at the Harvard, Liverpool, Graz, Barcelona, Alicante, Valencia, and Madrid Schools of Architecture, in its endeavour to disseminate the knowledge of ceramics and of their applications to professional stakeholders.

SPACE 2: The Little House of Paper. Mixuro Studio. The competition, organised by CEVISAMA, ASCER, and ITC for the design of one of the Trans-Hitos 2016 exhibition areas, was launched to energise the event, encouraging designers and architecture and interior design studios to put forward their ideas. The architecture studio Mixuro, made up of Javier Molinero, Javier Matoses, and Rafael Mira, won first prize for their project “The Little House of Paper”.

The jury highlighted the project’s values as a structurally determined piece that was easy to build and that explored the dimension of ceramics as materials that could, from a flat condition, successfully address large-scale spatial and signage challenges. The authors, in turn, highlighted the idealisation embodied by the little paper house, the perfect house, a symbol. A call to attention is involved, as it is an icon, in addition to being a symbol of efficiency and sustainability, realised with materials respectful of the environment, which can be readily disassembled and gathered up for subsequent re-assembly elsewhere, quickly, at any time. The structure holds ceramic pieces that do not come from a given manufacturer or are even of a particular type or model, generating a composition with different pieces, all of which are white, providing an overall texture.

SPACE 3: “Extruded Wall: Tessellated Customization”. Harvard University Graduate School of Design (GSD). The tessellated wall explores the design space of a novel ceramic customization strategy developed by researchers and students at the Graduate School of Design. The technique involves the automated cutting of clay extrusions that are industrially produced on a state-of-the-art extrusion line. The approach is based on extruding pieces from a single die, thus reducing tooling costs while at the same time maximizing the scope for varied design expressions.

The tessellated wall investigates the design space of this approach with a module design that features interlocking, ornamental patterns which allow for novel structural use of ceramic blocks in planar, folding and curved wall assemblies. The modules are produced with a complex extrusion die. Robotic manipulators equipped with wire-cutters can be integrated into the production system to trim off the end surfaces at custom angles and lengths as the wet clay is extruded.

Alternatively, CNC disk cutters can perform automated cutting operations after the large ceramic extrusions have been fired. Both approaches allow for low-cost customization of the ceramic modules to achieve a unique three-dimensional expression, control views and light, as well as address different structural needs in the wall. The modules can be bonded with cement for permanent installations, or be dry stacked and clipped together for easy assembly and disassembly, such as in the case of CEVISAMA 2016.

The two walls displayed at the 2016 Cevisama show consist of approximately 700 elements with lengths ranging from 15 to 60 cm. Variations in length and cutoff angle lead to 38 unique elements for the installation. These pieces are used to create a unique surface texture on every wall surface, but maintain the overall consistency of a strongly ornamental expression of the tectonic system.

SPACE 4: 14th TILE OF SPAIN AWARDS OF ARCHITECTURE AND INTERIOR DESIGN organised by ASCER. In this area are shown the winning projects in the latest edition of the Tile Awards in three categories: Architecture, Interior Design and Degree Project. More info: http://14.tileofspainawards.com
