Buso, A. (author), McQuillan, H.L. (author), Voorwinden, M. (author), Karana, E. (author)A woven textile-form is a form that is constructed simultaneously as the textile is woven. Interfaces designed with this approach hold undisclosed potential for rich interactions. However, the design of woven textile-form interfaces requires specialised tacit knowledge, which is limited even in craft and practice spaces; and it is therefore...conference paper 2023

Carrete, Israel A. (author), Ghodrat, S. (author), Scherer, Diana (author), Karana, E. (author)Plant root growth can be altered by introducing obstacles in the path of growth. This principle is used in design to produce planar grid structures composed of interweaving roots. The Engineered Plant Root Materials (EPRMs) grown with this method have the potential to serve as environmentally sensitive alternatives for conventional materials,...journal article 2023

McQuillan, H.L. (author), Karana, E. (author)Technology embeddedness in HCI textiles has great potential for enabling novel interactions and enriched experiences, but unless carefully designed, could inadvertently worsen HCI’s sustainability problem. In an attempt to bridge sustainable debates and practical material-driven scholarship in HCI, we propose Multimorphic Textile-forms (MMTF),...conference paper 2023

Martínez Castro, J.F. (author), Buso, A. (author), Wu, J. (author), Karana, E. (author)Shape-changing textile interfaces have the potential to create unique functions, expressions, and interactions in everyday artifacts. However, the technical expertise required to fabricate and interact with these interfaces limits designers from rapidly iterating through diverse textile expressions. This pictorial presents TEX(alive), a low...conference paper 2022

Ertürkan, H. (author), Karana, E. (author), Mugge, R. (author)Living materials are a nascent material class where living organisms are embedded and kept alive in the design outcome to achieve novel functionalities, expressions, and interactions. Experiential characterisation studies with potential endusers will provide insights for developing these novel materials for meaningful material<br/>applications....conference paper 2022

Zhou, J. (author), Barati, B. (author), Giaccardi, Elisa (author), Karana, E. (author)This paper offers a taxonomy of digital tools for crafting habitabilities in biodesign practices. Over the past decade, interest has grown among design and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) scholars to explore the potentials of living organisms for novel responsive behavior and interaction possibilities. Yet, to date, it remains unexplored how...journal article 2022

Zhou, J. (author), Barati, Bahareh (author), Wu, J. (author), Scherer, Diana (author), Karana, E. (author)Technological and economic opportunities, alongside the apparent ecological benefits, point to biodesign as a new industrial paradigm for the fabrication of products in the twenty-first century. The presented work studies plant roots as a biodesign material in the fabrication of self-supported 3D structures, where the biologically and...journal article 2021

Karana, E. (author), Barati, B. (author), Giaccardi, Elisa (author)Biodesign suggests the integration of living organisms, such as bacteria, algae, fungi, and plants, into design, prevalently as material sources. Designers mobilize livingness of organisms at the design time (e.g., their grow-ability into predefined forms, their ability to release colour in growth, etc.), for achieving a minimal ecological...journal article 2020

Veelaert, Lore (author), Du Bois, Els (author), Moons, Ingrid (author), Karana, E. (author)Driven by the competitive market that product designers face today, a growing interest emerges in exploring experiential material qualities to enhance product experience. The maturing of the research area calls for standardization to evolve to more streamlined and systematic approaches to conduct characterization experiments. To this aim, we...review 2020

Barati, B. (author), Karana, E. (author), Hekkert, P.P.M. (author)Over the past years, product designers have been involved in collaborative developments of smart material composites early on in the development process, to showcase creative applications of them. In these projects, the way the material is presented to the development team and the extent to which its properties are defined affect how...journal article 2019

Barati, B. (author), Karana, E. (author)Given the growing interest in “upstream” collaborative projects between designers and materials scientists, it is crucial to scrutinize designers’ creative contribution to materials development beyond “coming up with” application ideas. Overcoming this outdated preconception requires a shift away from the dominant perspective of cognitive...journal article 2019

Barati, B. (author), Giaccardi, Elisa (author), Karana, E. (author)As the material becomes active in disclosing the fullness of its capabilities, the boundaries between human and nonhuman performances are destabilized in productive practices that take their departure from materials. This paper illuminates the embodied crafting of action possibilities in material-driven design (MDD) practices with...conference paper 2018

Karana, E. (author), Blauwhoff, D.R.L.M. (author), Hultink, H.J. (author), Camere, S. (author)Diverse forms of material expressions can be achieved through practices that cross-fertilize biology and design. Growing Design is one such practice in which designers grow materials from living organisms, such as bacteria, algae or fungi. While this emerging practice may facilitate novel product ideas, the grown materials, to date, are often...journal article 2018

Majumdar, P. (author), Karana, E. (author), Ghazal, Sabrin (author), Sonneveld, M.H. (author)A growing number of scholars argue that understanding how people experience materials in products, i.e. Materials Experience, is essential in<br/>designing meaningful material applications. Material Driven Design (MDD) has been developed as the method to understand these experiential traits<br/>of materials and embed them in the design process....conference paper 2017

Karana, E. (author), Barati, B. (author), Rognoli, V. (author), Zeeuw van der Laan, A. (author)Materials research constantly offers novel materials as better alternatives to convention. Functional aptness is taken for granted at the first commercial launch of a new material. Nevertheless, this alone may not be enough for its commercial success and widespread use. The ‘material’ should also elicit meaningful user experiences in and beyond...journal article 2015

De Pauw, I.C. (author), Kandachar, P.V. (author), Karana, E. (author)In the field of sustainable product development, a new perspective for approaching sustainability has been advocated, challenging designers and engineers to aim beyond ‘reducing unsustainability’. Several design strategies – including Biomimicry and Cradle to Cradle – have been suggested for developing truly sustainable, or ‘beneficial’,...journal article 2014

(author)This paper describes the findings and results of a design project with the goal to design a wearable garment using 3D Printed textiles, which not only has functional or environmental superiorities, but also experiential ones. The approach that was adopted for this project is a recently developed method on Material Driven Design (MDD), which...conference paper 2014
