Material-aware Design

Material-Aware Design is a generative design approach that integrates the intrinsic properties, behaviors, and constraints of materials into the computational synthesis and optimization of forms, distinguishing it from purely geometry- or performance-driven design methods by prioritizing materiality as a foundational driver of design decision-making.
