Material Bank: Matters Make Sense explores the foundational role of sensory engagement as a primary form of human intelligence, rooted in our ongoing interaction with the environment. This intuitive process enables continuous discovery and shapes our understanding of the world. Matter, as a boundary object, connects people, the built and natural environments, and the cultural narratives they represent, fostering collective well-being. Material Bank: Matters Make Sense showcases and explores the interplay between innovative materials and architectural application. The critical role of sensing materiality emerges as a bridge between natural and artificial intelligence, addressing contemporary challenges while empowering architects and designers to research and adopt new materials thoughtfully.
