This card helps you let material properties guide your design process.

How will you balance your design intentions with the limitations and potential of your materials?
How will you actively collaborate by listening to and observing your materials as active participants in the design process and product life-cycle?
Carpentry
Every carpenter working with natural wood understands its "living" qualities and how it responds to changes in the environment. Shifts in humidity or light can cause wood to expand, contract, warp, or change color. To create a stable product, a carpenter must anticipate these reactions and collaborate in harmony with wood's natural properties.
Actions
