Materials Planning Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A design science lab that explores new value for objects, people, and the environment through the properties of materials.
AboutAbout the lab
Rethinking materials through objects, people, and the environment.
The Materials Planning Lab studies, from the perspective of design science, the relationship between the inherent properties of materials and the attributes that arise from them.
Within the connections among objects, people, and the environment, the lab aims to create new value.
Its work includes examining how to select and use materials, developing functions and applications that make use of new technologies, and analyzing the form and structure of designs from both formative and mechanical perspectives.
The lab also uses Kansei engineering to identify the factors that create a sense of material quality and applies the findings to product development, and it addresses issues of resource and environmental conservation.
Key terms
