‘AZUL’ design proposal explores a Portuguese traditional tile-making technique called, ‘Azulejo’. For this project, Joana chose to look at Bishops Lodge, a small and elegant building where she focused on bringing out its original inner ‘shell’, by exposing its pillars and beams. She designed a modern pottery studio allowing people to learn about Azulejo tiles, whilst also ‘connecting to three elements (earth, water, and fire) to help users unwind from the busy city life whilst learning a new skill.
