Fiber Ventilation Wall
The Fiber Ventilation Wall is a modular brick system made from raw earth, Texas prairie grass hay and wheat straw, using human hands, tools, and machines. Commissioned as part of Architecture Center Houston’s “Big, Hot, and Sticky” exhibition, this project responds to Houston’s provocation through climate and critical histories rooted in the city’s urban landscape: What does it look like to thrive in a city that is Big, Hot, and Sticky?
In hot-humid climates, natural materials like earth and fibers are used traditionally to buffer relative humidity levels. By acting as a relative humidity “flywheel”, these materials exhibit hygroscopic properties –– absorbing and desorbing moisture from the ambient environment. The bricks in this installation incorporate experimental hygroscopic “recipes” for 3D printing and suggest future modes of ecological fabrication with low-carbon materials while bringing waste virtually to zero. The modular design of the bricks is created by combining two circles with ventilation patters informed by a series of fluid dynamic simulations. The arrangement of matter in a circular pattern is designed here to invoke air exchange, not only for bioclimatic purposes but also as an agency for promoting healing through sacred geometry.
