Play with the Rules

Risky Matter

Fall Conference Proceedings

Author(s): Julie Larsen & Roger Hubeli

Most research in the material industry has ambition to improve their material and develop new products that expand the range of the material’s performance. But typically, the focus is on increasing performance of the materials in relationship to current benchmarks driven by policy or economics. Therefore, more speculative or risky applications are often prevented from advancing by either building code or inertia of the industry. By taking agency early in a material’s conception, design can play a critical role in helping to reduce this risk, when given the opportunity to speculate into the future.
