Parameterization of Self-Morphing Clay - Frustrated Ceramics (FCC) is a material system that leverages two clay bodies with different shrinkage rates during firing, creating self-forming shapes with positive curvature. This research expands FCC's potential by enabling control over curvature orientation, type, and degree. Through techniques like varying sheet thickness, adding grooves, and adjusting material layering, precise shaping becomes achievable.

By developing a quantitative understanding of FCC, this study enhances the predictability of complex, nonlinear transformations from flat sheets to intricate forms, positioning FCC as a viable, sustainable solution for architectural applications.
