| Summary: | The Material Engagement Model (MEM) provides a heuristic model for
understanding the telic and paratelic processes that occur when spatial
designers encounter an unknown material. The model is derived from
qualitative research with a diverse set of international spatial designers, whose
practices involve advanced materials and innovative creative risk-taking. A
phenomenological analysis grounded on the work of Heidegger and Bourdieu is
applied to the Reversal Theory model of Apter in the development of the MEM. |
