Abstract:
A ritual can be described as an act, a celebration, a movement in space, a ceremony,
worship, or tradition. Architecture has the capacity to realise social relations through
developing meaningful linkages between spatial practices of the users. These practices can
range from the mundane to the grand in scale. In particular, we will be exploring the process
of ceramics architecturally by considering the steps in the process to be similar in nature to
"ritual" in architecture. This will not only be applied to spatial relations on a micro level but
also in the urban context through serious leisure. This aims to contribute to the revival of
the craft on both institute level and community level through creative place making.
Combined with the technical nature of the process itself, the resulting experiential quality is
functional, with importance in hierarchy to the core parts of the process stitched together
by liminal space that bring about a holistic experience.
