【 摘 要 】

The purpose of this study is to explore the relational, complementary and speculative co-existence in the design methods of thinking modes which lie in 'New Materialism' and computational design and their influences on architectural design applications, urban design and morphological design. As the properties of materials can give impetus to urban development, urban development can also exert its influences on materials. Similar to the beginning of all construction activities, materials are also related to all fields of design and construction in a direct manner. Taking into account the influences of New Materialism, the author then started to examine the relationship between materiality and digital diagrammatic design again. Being a new type of biomass materials, the bio-plastic is becoming increasingly popular in urban design. The environmental problems brought about by the frequent use of petroleum-based plastic have been solved by bio-plastic successfully. The computational tools can be applied to regenerate urban. Also, the critical media of geometry can launch out a new dialogue between the material and urban design.
