Communication in Narrative Frames Designing with Smart Material

Design oriented by new materials and the experience they provide acts effectively in different frames of narrative design and in such design process, materials represent design as dynamic intermedia. With development of smart technology, smart materials become a new kind of orientation in such context and support design process in different narrative frames in communication and sharing ideas among design participants. A significant feature in this process is, that the communication is divided in to two layers, including the dialogue between the participants and between smart material and participants, for the smart materials give feedbacks and reactions. Based on this situation, this paper constructs a communication framework based on the trend of smart material and relative technologies. This research is based on literature review and empirical design studies with biomaterial, for its properties of reactions as one of the kinds of smart material in generalized concept.
