Fatemeh Nejati: Fatemeh Nejati is a double master’s graduate of Architecture from SRBIAU (Iran) and also in Advanced Ecological Buildings & Bio-cities from IAAC (Spain). Also she is practitioner at Engenesis platform as a coach ( individual and organizations).

She founded “Ev Ceramic-Lab in Iran in 2021 and EV YAAR S.L. In Spain in 2024.

Armin Akbari: He has a master’s degree from IAAC Spain. His focus is on computational design. He is the co-founder of Delines.io. Cooperation with ev ceramic-lab since the winter of 2024 has created many potentials in the field of ceramic 3D printing for both parties.

Project partners:

Mona Safarzadeh: Handicrafts expert – Mazandaran University professor – glaze specialist

Maryam Shakuri: industrial designer

EV CERAMIC-LAB 

MUQARNAS PROJECT; 

GIANT PEYMANEH 

Observing and having a deep conversation between two white plaster muqarnas in Natanz Jame Mosque, one on the north porch and the other in the tomb of Sheikh Abdul Samad Natanzi_Isfahan, IRAN_ was the beginning of an igniting a fire that accompanied us on our earthly journey for years and kept our path clear. Muqarnas project started its journey in winter 2021 from Tehran and has travelled to over 15 countries in the world until now. 

It was displayed in a solo exhibition in BARCELONA and MILAN DESIGN WEEK 2024. 

GIANT PEYMANEH is a groundbreaking collaboration between EV CERAMIC_LAB and DELINES.io that exemplifies the fusion of art and technology. This project demonstrates the exciting possibilities when traditional artistic techniques are combined with innovative technological tools, highlighting the creative potential of integrating these two worlds.

 Duration of print: 6 hours

 Duration of drying and baking: 30 days

 At EV CERAMIC-LAB, we strive to integrate ceramic science, digital design, and the principles of sustainability to create products which fit today’s needs. Our human-centred design approach for designing and manufacturing encourages us to think about human, environmental and economic demands simultaneously. We draw upon the intricate geometries of Iranian architecture as a source of inspiration, leveraging computational design tools to further enhance and evolve these designs.
