MATERIAL MIXTAPE 07
Rendering Imperfection: The Digital Craft of Patina
by Edward Price, Senior Visualiser
“For me, spending time digitally crafting material ageing reflects the passage of time itself.”
This year, Material Mixtape is told through the perspectives of the people who work with materials every day, capturing how our architects, designers, and visualisers think about materiality, not just what materials are.
In this issue, our Senior Visualiser, Ed, reflects on the role of digital craft in depicting material ageing, and how this perspective can support a more conscious and responsible approach to design.
