Architectural Ceramic Assemblies Workshop (ACAW)

Now in its ninth year, the Architectural Ceramic Assemblies Workshop (ACAW) is a hands-on research and development event for teams of architects and façade engineers to explore the use of terra cotta in high-performance façade design.

ACAW brings together professionals from the architectural industry and academia, allowing participants to develop innovative building solutions and further their understanding of architectural terra cotta and how to incorporate the material using its best characteristics.

Join us in-person or virtually for the annual closing presentations of the workshop.
