The Cluster for Material Studies is a research environment studying and developing material phenomena and performances across architecture and design scales.
Our aim is to develop knowledge, methods and demonstrations that impact the ability for architecture and design disciplines to develop aesthetic and sustainable solutions which influence society generally and humans directly through perceived experiences. Our strategy is to study materials in synergetic investigation trajectories of material making, material programming and material perception.
The cluster is structured for collaborative efforts with industry and academic partners, enabling unique cross-disciplinary and cross-sector research processes searching new ideas, knowledge and methods that can address complex unique and systemic problems faced by the individual and the society.
