"As I have worked closely with different materials over the course of architectural studies, I've realized their great potential in design. I have discovered that my fascination with materials has to do with how they influence design process. The major interest of this study is exploring the nature of materials and building methods in design. In order to narrow this field of study, my thesis research focuses on material research and design conducted in a woodshop environment. Considering the thesis question ""materiality and crafts within design"" I will examine related case studies. I will conduct a research by observing, experimenting and analyzing materials. These experiences I will implement into workshop design projects."
