The Materials Creation Laboratory 2 focuses on experimentation, innovation, sustainable design and creativity through new materials.
This laboratory offers a combination of theory and practice, based on experimentation and prototyping, providing participants with the knowledge and skills necessary to innovate in the use of advanced materials. Assess the relationship between materials and the design project, exploring new innovative and sustainable materials, generating new applications, new developments or material languages.
We will also pay attention to the emotional values of materials, based on technical and sensory properties, and their relationship and interactions with the user, as well as their dynamic properties.
Sustainable materials generate an impact that influences industry and society. Materials-based innovation allows us to develop new initiatives, find more responsible solutions and implement more creative design processes.
The subject will address advanced materials, but will also study design practices that may arise from popular materials, vernacular traditions, reflecting the materials, techniques and styles typical of a local context and that are rooted in the cultural, economic, climatic and social reality. . .
