Materialdesign expands and challenges the disciplinary boundaries and the understanding of design. Designing with materials is inherently a practice of researching, experimentation and crossing traditional disciplinary borders. The dialogue with materials encourages the exploration of novel forms, techniques, and fosters innovative outcomes – in this way, materialdesign drives the evolution of new paradigms and approaches in design practice and research.

The Symposium explores the evolving roles of materials design of generating knowledge through practice. By bringing together international researchers working in this scope, we aim to provide a holistic overview of this evolving field, to discuss the future roles of materialdesign in the design study.
