Camilo Ayala Garcia  presented the research on DIY Materials and his PhD thesis “The Materials Generation” in a video interview by the Department of Design, Politecnico di Milano.

“The title of my thesis is The Materials Generation: it is, in fact, today’s generation of designers who are literally taking material into their own hands and generating it, thanks among other things to the democratization of technology (…), and who are seeking to do design (hopefully) in a more aware manner, where material is no longer chosen at the end of the design process but is created for the project itself”.
