Description
Radical Matter: Revolutionary Materials and Design for a Sustainable Future presents ten "Big Ideas" that will shape the choices of materials, design methods, and manufacturing processes made by designers in the years to come. These ideas are driven by a worldwide community of designers pushing boundaries with innovative works.
The book explores how holistic systems of design, production, and consumption can benefit our world environmentally, socially, and economically through cutting-edge case studies and expert opinions. It covers themes such as repair, waste management, natural assets, co-creation, material connections, short life materials, living materials, and future mining.
For design professionals and students, Radical Matter offers a wealth of information to help turn revolutionary concepts into reality. The book includes an invaluable directory of resources for cutting-edge materials and a definitive list of global research centers, innovation hubs, academic courses, and material libraries.
