Innovative material combination experiment |diploma work
Her master work is a series of concrete mixing experiments with various organic and inorganic materials. In over 100 experimental pieces she investigated how to modify and overwrite the stereotypes regarding concrete, how to give a new, softer look for an industrial material. The result of the diploma work is a material innovation matrix, a material library on concrete that can inspire the development of an innovative, human-friendly flooring system and other design oriented use of concrete.
