Title The emerging role of design in the circular materials field
Year 2023
Published Materiaux & Techniques, 111, 3
Abstract Nowadays, a common goal engages many disciplines in researching and implementing a circular and sustainable economic model, and design is one of them. Designers are involved in our global climate crisis governing and influencing production and consumption processes and materials. The latter, materials, are a fundamental part of design processes, and intervening in and through them, means solving many sustainability problems by moving toward possible circular production. For these reasons, design research has long transcended its traditional boundaries. We are witnessing a phenomenon in which design plays an unprecedented role: from "design with materials", we have moved to "design for materials" and now "of materials". Design becomes the interface between us and the material world through multidisciplinary tools, the mediator between problems and solutions, activating and directing interdisciplinary teams engaged in processes shared by their research. Evidence of this phenomenon is the growing number of public and private investments, actions in academies and research institutes, and realities in the industry involving designers and design-driven activities such as creative enterprises, incubators, and start-ups. This paper aims to highlight this phenomenon with examples where design is a significant player in materials development strategies. After an initial framing of the circular economy, the report analyzes the repositioning of materials design through a phenomenological analysis. This analysis includes the evolution of design approaches to materials through their creative practices. Moreover, we analyzed how design education is changing to respond to environmental issues. The paper creates and defines a taxonomy of material design case studies. It then closes with some reflections and conclusions. De nos jours, un objectif commun engage nombreuses disciplines dans la recherche et la mise en & OELIG;uvre d'un modele economique circulaire et durable, et le design est l'une d'entre elles. Les designers sont impliques dans la crise climatique mondiale en regissant et en influencant les processus de production et de consommation ainsi que les materiaux. Ces derniers sont une partie fondamentale des processus de conception, et intervenir dans et a travers eux, signifie resoudre de nombreux problemes de durabilite en s'orientant vers une possible production circulaire. Pour ces raisons, la recherche en design a depuis longtemps depasse ses frontieres traditionnelles. Nous assistons a un phenomene dans lequel le design joue un role sans precedent : de la & DLANGBRAC; conception avec les materiaux & drangbrac;, nous sommes passes a la & DLANGBRAC; conception pour les materiaux & drangbrac; et maintenant a la & DLANGBRAC; conception des materiaux & drangbrac;. Le design devient l'interface entre nous et le monde materiel a travers des outils multidisciplinaires, le mediateur entre les problemes et les solutions, activant et dirigeant des equipes interdisciplinaires engagees dans des processus partages par leur recherche. La preuve de ce phenomene est le nombre croissant d'investissements publics et prives, d'actions dans les academies et les instituts de recherche, et de realites dans l'industrie impliquant des designers et des activites axees sur le design telles que les entreprises creatives, les incubateurs et les start-ups. Ce document vise a mettre en lumiere ce phenomene a l'aide d'exemples ou la conception joue un role important dans les strategies de developpement des materiaux. Apres un cadrage initial de l'economie circulaire, le rapport analyse le repositionnement de la conception des materiaux par le biais d'une analyse phenomenologique. Cette analyse comprend l'evolution des approches de la conception des materiaux a travers leurs pratiques creatives. En outre, nous avons analyse la facon dont l'enseignement de la conception evolue pour repondre aux questions environnementales. Le document cree et definit une taxonomie d'etudes de cas sur la conception des materiaux. Il se termine par quelques reflexions et conclusions.
