See, Feel, Experience.

Nowadays, almost anything is possible as far as materials are concerned. Material usage in buildings and products form the experience we have while using them. The exhibition was devoted to groundbreaking materials and their innovative applications. The exhibition´s purpose was to allow for the transfer of knowledge on the many cross-discipline materials. It consisted of two parts: materials and concepts. The selection of around eighty samples displayed aimed to inform, inspire, amaze and excite the senses of architects, designers and industry professionals alike. The second part showed examples of international projects with these types of innovative materials in use.

The international touring exhibition was produced by: Materia, Rotterdam, Nederland.
