(Intellectual Output 4)

The meaning of Material, Materiality and the Digital for Baukultur

The main aim of the intellectual output “Material” is to investigate how materiality and material handling change in the digital context: what new opportunities big data and new technologies such as sensors, 3D printing, VR and AR applications are offering from a material perspective. The final outcome is a reflection on “The meaning of Material, Materiality and the Digital for Baukultur.” Three strategic perspectives on Material and its role within the changing digital opportunities of current building research and design practice are identified.
