Innovation Through Creative Speculation

The Laboratory for Material Propositions advances design innovation through critical engagement with the evolving interplay between spatial, technological, experiential, and social systems. Anchored in an interdisciplinary methodology, our work extends the scope of conventional design research by drawing upon diverse historical contexts and experimental strategies to imagine future-oriented objects, spaces, environments, and ecologies. Central to our approach is the proposition—an intentional construct that challenges normative frameworks and opens space for transformative design possibilities.
