A ceramic school organized around a repetitive system of kilns that structure both space and workflow. Studios and glazing areas cluster around the kilns, forming a continuous making process. The kilns act as thermal cores, with surrounding water pipes capturing and redistributing heat throughout the building. Above, galleries and offices overlook production, while the former parking lot is reclaimed as a public ground for gathering and outdoor work.
