The "Material Time" Symposium at HarvardGSD examines bio-based materials, including their growth, assemblies, maintenance, and experimentation practices. It explores their current and potential applications across different design scales, while also discussing strategies for thinking, teaching, and design approaches. Central to the gathering are the questions: How should we understand design in relation to the temporality of materials? In what ways could we incorporate material transformations into the design process?
Dr. Laia Mogas-Soldevila, director of Penn Weitzman's DumoLab Research will share her team's recent work on earth, plant, and fruit based material systems approaching architecture to eco-attuned futures.
