Making good designs means not only recognizing and shaping the spirit of a thing, but also anticipating its material presence. Often, new products find their way into reality when inspired by material properties. For this reason, the Faculty of Design has established a Materials Library where students can experience and understand the quality of materials firsthand.
Equipment:
1. Research: The materials library contains references to materials databases, manufacturers and suppliers, refers to relevant trade fairs and has a computer with Internet access. Technical literature on the various material and manufacturing techniques is also available.
2. material: The material library contains cataloged samples and product information arranged according to material groups. Plastics, wood, glass, ceramics, metal, paper and textiles can be found in various states of production and finishing.
3. design: The material library deals with elements of trade fair construction and interior design and refers to trade fair construction systems, materials and corresponding equipment options.
