Spatial material, materials and design, material experience, sensory perception, sense experienceAbstract
Material is one of the most important factors that determines the identity of a designed product or space. Material experience influences both design and user perception through user interaction. The aim of this study is to examine publications focusing on spatial material experience, revealing the methods applied in this field, the types of materials used, sensory approaches, and evaluation methods. In this study, conducted using qualitative research methods, 30 publications in the relevant literature were analyzed in detail. The results of the analysis revealed that the most frequently preferred material type in the studies was wood, the presentation form was spatial applications, the sensory experience was visual, the measurement method was descriptive testing, and the content evaluation was perceptual evaluation. Based on these findings, a framework is proposed that will contribute to the field for researchers, designers, and practitioners working on spatial material experience.
