Material Matters

Talk

Material production and consumption cycles are inherently linked to issues of waste and inform our sustainability strategies. This panel brings together experts in materials science and material culture studies to discuss innovative materials and their implications for design.

Andrew Simpson, founder and director of Sydney-based design house, Vert, leads a conversation exploring how the physical and mechanical properties of materials are entangled within cultures and politics.

The discussion will give insights into materials innovation, designing with new (and old) technologies and transitioning towards renewable and sustainable materials and systems.
