Abstract
The history of design education has experienced the progress from materiality to immateriality. Dissociating and alienating from actual materials has become an evident characteristic of current design activities. Physical materials are passively selected or accepted at the end restricted to mass production. However, this fixed status is entering into an indeterminate situation resulting from the increasingly deteriorating ecological problems. An increasing number of designers are beginning to create degradable materials, especially biomaterials or recreate wasted materials in the monodisciplinary or interdisciplinary form at the very beginning of the design process. The paper aims to construct an inquiry to transform the indeterminate situation into the determinate one by reflecting on the Material Thinking among designers for sustainable transitions. We dated back to the origin and nature of Material Thinking, and redefine it in Design. We proposed a new concept of Designerly Ways of Material Thinking, and presented the proposed constructing model from the viewpoints of sustainable transitions.
