'Radical Matter' presents the eight 'Big Ideas' that will shape and inform the choices of materials, design methods and manufacturing processes made by designers in the years ahead. This text draws from a global community of designers who are pushing boundaries with new and disruptive approaches to their use of materials and design processes that go beyond the notion of 'sustainable design.' Holistic systems of design, production and consumption that will benefit our world environmentally, socially and economically are now possible, and material innovation will be a crucial element in achieving that goal.
