Materialities Research Group

Our primary research topics are Ecology-Informed Material Systems and More-Than-Human Design, conducted through a cross-disciplinary approach integrating research on Geomaterials, Biodesign, Ecology, and digital technologies. All projects are piloted in Shenzhen and the Great Bay Area, following a situated approach to create global and scalable design agencies and applications.
