Structuring Materiality: Design Fabrication of Heterogeneous Materials
10.1002/ad.1110.abs
What happens when we invert the usual sequence of the design process ‐ form‐structure‐material ‐ so materiality becomes the generative driver? Taking nature as her model, Neri Oxman advocates a new material method, Variable Property Design (VPD), in which material assemblies are modelled, simulated and fabricated with varying properties in order to correspond with multiple and continuously shifting functional constraints.
