Earth Lounge vol. 7 "Design x Science Meeting - Earth: Materials for Design"

National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation
Finished
How much are designers who create things and work with materials on a daily basis aware of the flow of time on an Earth-centric scale?

The Earth Lounge Series faces the great theme of "Earth." This time, with the title of 'Design x Science Meeting "Earth: Materials for Design,"' we will examine the communication between design and science.

Based on the theme of materials that are familiar to us such as wood, plastic, metals, this aspiring project will search for the "Correct" creation method through an exchange between scientists and designers.

The items to be exhibited as a result of the study session that has been ongoing since January, 2010, are suggestions from designers from various fields that expand to encompass the product, its color and structure as well as the mechanism of the creation. Each one of these works will become a seed that will spread to a free discussion as it surpasses existing preconceptions.
