材料研究不断地提供新材料作为传统的更好的替代品。在一种新材料的首次商业发布中,功能适宜性被认为是理所当然的。然而,单凭这一点可能不足以使其在商业上取得成功并得到广泛应用。这些“材料”还应该在其功利性评估之外引发有意义的用户体验。这不仅要求材料是什么,而且要确定它能做什么,它向我们表达了什么,它从我们身上引出了什么,它让我们做了什么。为了通过这样的理解寻求适当的应用,材料科学家和行业已经联系了设计师,以经验目标指导材料的发展。然而,到目前为止,如何针对手头材料的体验和设计进行设计的问题一直没有得到很好的解决。在本文中,我们提出了一种方法,即材料驱动设计(MDD),以促进针对材料体验的设计。在解释了这种方法的理论基础之后,给出了一个说明性的案例--在这个案例中,“咖啡废料”是一个构思新产品概念的设计努力的主题。最后,提出了可能的研究方向,以期为MDD方法在不同项目中的有效应用带来新的见解。
Materials research constantly offers novel materials as better alternatives to convention. Functional aptness is taken for granted at the first commercial launch of a new material. Nevertheless, this alone may not be enough for its commercial success and widespread use. The ‘material’ should also elicit meaningful user experiences in and beyond its utilitarian assessment. This requires qualifying the material not only for what it is, but also for what it does, what it expresses to us, what it elicits from us, and what it makes us do. In search of a proper application through such an understanding, material scientists and industries have reached out to designers to guide the development of materials by experiential goals. However, how to design for experiences with and for a material at hand has been poorly addressed to date. In this article, we propose a method, Material Driven Design (MDD), to facilitate designing for material experiences. After explaining the theoretical foundation of the method, an illustrative case is presented—where ‘coffee waste’ is the subject of a design effort to conceive a new product concept. Finally, possible research directions are addressed to bring new insights to the effective application of the MDD method to diverse projects.
