Materials Experience 2: Expanding Territories of Materials and Design

Today, with technological advancements of materials, our everyday experiences of materials are more diverse than ever. Materials of today are more dynamic, expressive and adaptable than ever. This book offers a broad panorama of strong theoretical concepts and illustrative case studies surfacing from the unique characteristics of emerging materials. These materials provide designers with new avenues for creating meaningful and affective products. Within this book, the readers will explore how 'emerging materials' change the way we live and experience everyday products and change the way designers work with materials. Alongside theoretical chapters, a number of illustrative cases from renowned design practitioners as active makers of materials are presented, taking sustainability and the creation of unique material experiences as the ultimate goal. Presents both the knowledge and understanding of what 'new and emerging materials' are, where they come from, and how they can be used effectively in designLooks at how the professional responsibility of material selection is evolving into a more complex and active role of material 'creation' and 'appropriation'Explores how an elevated sensitivity to materials influence people's experiences of the designed world INDICE: 1.
