What does it mean to live in a material world, and how do materials
of the past and present hold the keys to our future? This book
tackles these questions by focusing on various issues that human
beings face and by discussing potential materials-related
solutions. Through the lens of intriguing projects by designers,
artists, makers, and scientists, it presents a colorful panoply of
ideas, technologies, and creative efforts that focus on the earth's
most basic elements, while also showing how these elements can be
transformed into entirely new materials. It explores, for example,
how ancient practices such as dyeing fabric and making glue may
hold the secret to renewable and earth-friendly consumer products,
as well as how recycling plastics can tackle food waste, and how a
type of light metal being developed may one day make air travel
less fuel-reliant. This book also investigates the potential of the
digital experience, suggesting how this most ephemeral type of
matter can be used to improve our world. Eye-catching and
provocative, Why Materials Matter serves as both a stimulating
catalog of possibilities and a timely manifesto on how to consume,
manufacture, and design for a better future.
