Lili Yas Tayefi Workshops

Lili Yas Tayefi is an Iranian-Canadian interdisciplinary artist, educator, and designer working across computational design, digital fabrication, and sculptural ceramics. Her practice explores the space betweenbodies, buildings, craft, and code—translating softness, modularity, and movement into tactile form.

Since 2015, Lili has worked extensively with 3D-printed biomaterials, beginning at the Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia (IAAC), where she specialized in large-scale clay 3D printing and bio fabrication techniques. Her projects include Spain’s first 3D-printed earthen dwelling and numerous international collaborations bridging material experimentation and digital craft.

As founder of LYT.Studio, she develops custom tools and workflows for clay 3D printing, including a newly launched Grasshopper plugin for optimized g-code generation. Her teaching practice spans architecture, art, and technology, with a focus on intuitive design, hands-on methods, and body-aware fabrication.
