Each year, Material Matters throws the spotlight on a particular practice as design studio of the year. This year it is London-based studio PriestmanGoode who believe ‘material choices in the design process not only define the distinct experience of a journey across every touchpoint, but they also ensure that light-weight, circular and recycled requirements will meet net-zero targets.’
Priestman Goode’s installation, Moving Responsibly: A Material Journey, takes visitors on a trip (appropriately enough) across each phase of a design process, examining issues such as supplier collaborations. It demonstrates how design has the ultimate influence in defining future transport systems that are safe, responsible and sustainable. The installation - in Room 8 on the second floor of the Bargehouse includes a materials table and VR experience.
