This was the 4th and last in a series of seminars on new materials and technologies, with the aim of bringing together people working in different fields with material innovation that wouldn’t normally get together. Speakers and audience consisted of anthropologists, engineers, material scientists, product designers, archivists, historians, philosophers, curators and artists.
Chris gave a presentation on materials from a designer’s point of view and explained how he started off as an industrial designer who got to specialize in materials.
The sessions were the result of a collaboration between University College London and Kings College London, with support by the Economic and Social Research Council, MADE and Materials KTN.
