Using hollow voussoir geometries from historic Russian bath houses as the precedent for this study, the goal of this project was to investigate the validity of clay 3D printing in achieving certain desired thermal qualities.

Rigorous research was conducted on the voussoir geometry and how it functioned, in order to design a new voussoir that could be optimized with cutting edge 3D printing. 3D printing allows for the control of the location for the deposition of material.

By adding doubly and triply curved surfaces to the existent hollow voussoir geometry, we were able to effectively double and triple the thermal lag. At the same time, the porosity of these surfaces still allows for high flow thermal convection.
