The Material Propositions Lab pioneers design exploration and innovation through a profound understanding and engagement with our shared built and social environments. Our mission expands beyond design research, embracing diverse histories and strategies to create new territories, systems and environments. We believe propositions are the foundation of design. They challenge norms, spark new ideas, and pave the way for fresh futures. This dynamic, interdisciplinary lab unites researchers, designers, engineers, anthropologists, social scientists, material scientists and futurists to tackle serious topics through imagination, speculation, and play.
