Materialica Design + Technology Award 2009
January 12, 2009 | Levent OZLER
The world of materials is developing swiftly and becoming increasingly complex.
Designers have known for a long time that the success of a product and its design also depends on the right choice of materials.
Pioneering materials can provide functional, aesthetic and production-related impulses.
At the same time, engineers and developers are inspired by design requirements to develop new materials and technologies.
To highlight this interrelation, to demonstrate the importance of materials for industrial design-oriented applications and to establish a platform for designers, material manufacturers, developers, engineers and producers for a get-together, MunichExpo has been organizing the Materialica Design + Technology Award for six years.
The main focal point of this award is on aerospace, automotive, engineering, sports and technical consumer goods.
Award 2009 seeks to set an example by granting a Best-of CO2 efficiency award which complements the current categories.
Carbon dioxide produced during manufacturing, service life and for the disposal of material, products and technologies will be evaluated.
