Centre for Materials Science & Culture Publications

Last updated 27 November 2025

This page lists selected publications by members of the Centre for Materials Science & Culture team. These publications embody our STEAM methodological approaches, which involve learning principles or theories from science disciplines and applying them through a design lens, in order to oscillate between designerly and scientific modes of inquiry, either working on our own, or in collaboration with science disciplines.
