MATERIAL THINKERS

Aleksandra Gaga, TERO (earth)

Surface Design Show 2011 is all about material thought.

‘Material thinking' at the Surface Design Show, explores the complex thought pyramids involved in developing materials and asks the participants to demonstrate the thought process behind their individual innovations. It asks them what else they are doing to develop these materials as the world and markets continue to change. 

Can they make their materials more bespoke or more sustainable?

Can they improve the integral performance and in doing so remain both relevant and forward thinking?

How else is 'Material thinking' at The Surface Design Show 2011 being explored? In a more editorial guise, the show brings some of the most influential Architects, Designers and Scientists together to ask them what new materials they are developing and how have they ‘stretched’ the boundaries of existing materials from the creation of thermobimaterials from differing metal alloys  to carbon skinned doors. And there is naturally, a lot of discussion from some original thinkers.
