to view them thoroughly and then evaluated themon the basis of their impressions. They were al-lowed to assess the telephone samples in randomorder. To avoid interference in evaluating the tele-phone samples, the subjects were asked not to talkto each other during the test.

3. Results and discussion

The raw evaluation data and preference scores ofthe designers and users were analyzed primarilywith regard to the following points:(1) Evaluation and preference score distribution;

(2) Factor analysis (principal component analysis)of the subject's perceptual space;

(3) Relative importance of design elements;(4) Design reference model.

3.1. Distribution of the raw data

The raw data } mean scores and standard devi-ation } for the 14 adjective pairs rated by designersand users re#ected that the designer is better ablethan the user to tell one product form from another.Because the users are not clear about the productform, they tend to give the telephone samplea mid-scale evaluation.

a. USiNG MaTERiaLS TO ChaLLENGE ExPECTaTiONS “Y (wooden steam bent table): I’ve had a lot of people think that the underneath [the wooden table] is all was really soft and flowing, and they’ve had to come along and like, touch it, and make sure it’s all solid. But yeah, everyone loves it and making sure like, feeling all the curves and everything.

A (metal necklace):I’ve actually had someone come from up there [the top floor of the exhibition] and go, “is it [the metal necklace] rubber? It looks like rubber.” and lots of people have said, what is it actually made of? It’s not plastic, but it’s usually the sound it creates, you can tell it’s metal.

K (acrylic jewellery): If people have knowledge already about the material and the processes, they come in and question more, where’s the join, or how it is worked? If it’s people who don’t and have no idea, they come and approach and question: is it glass?

M (stool with metal strap): It wasn’t really intentional to bring the strapping through and keep it the same aesthetic, it just sort of ended up that way, without me realizing … I was er, surprised at the number of people saying, “I thought it was fabric, how is it standing up?” which I kinda like really.

order. The three models visualizing “something that flows

out of a crack in the mountain” exhibit a somewhat

different time frame (Figure 2). These models have been

developed in several months of work and they are

indicative of a shifting focus in the students’ thinking.

Although they have been produced in a sequential order,

they maintain their relevance as they communicate

complementary aspects of the design project.

Let us look once more at the first semester student who

studied a saw and its movements, translating it into a

physical model (Figure 9, see also Figure 5 and 8). In a

later session, using different light sources, he highlights

details of the model that exhibit distinctive material

features, such as the dents of the saw. Using multiple

projections he transforms a collage of these details into a

spatial installation. We can look at this as a particular

material feature ‘circulating’ through different

representations, in a sequence, helping the student to

explore its significance for creating an architectural space.

Each transformation deepens the student’s understanding of

the material and makes the design concept mature. These

students explore the properties of concrete step-by-step,

with one discovery leading them to the next design

intervention. Another type of temporality can be identified

in the ways the students make use of the big shared model

(see also Figure 4 right). Here we observed a more

ephemeral apparition of material features, with students,

from day to day, leaving material traces of their design

thinking on the model or overwriting them in the next

collaborative design session. These (temporary) traces

serve as indices to planned or discussed interventions in the

mountain valley. They change or disappear with the

progress of students’ discussions. Also the ‘carving out’

example has a temporal dimension. It shows how one

model is transformed, over the course of a few days, to

perform different visual effects through its changing shape

and material features. This resonates with Russian designer

Vladimir Tatlin, who held that design should “derive from

exploring and exploiting a material’s intrinsic qualities, and

be considering how it might combine with other materials”

([6], p. 53). A more general point is illustrated by these

examples: There is a temporal framework connected to

material features which elucidates how these emerge in

specific events. Hence our notion of ‘material events’.

These events range from: long-term activities, such as

creating a material-dense work environment or design

space; to creating design representations from different

materials or exploring a specific material through

circulating it through different representations – gradually

transforming and translating the design concept or even

‘jumping’ between formats, scales and media (all activities

of medium durée); to short communicative events (leaving

temporary traces).

Materiality in Performative Events

Our analysis points to a diversity of material resources for

collaborative creativity. The different material features of

an artefact engage our different senses and are connected to

different techniques of working with materials –

perceiving, expressing and experiencing. The spatiality –

an artefacts size, shape, proportion, location in space and
