Matsys is a design studio exploring the emergent and integral relationships between form, growth, and behavior in material systems. This term, material systems, is not only the source of our practice’s name, but a philosophy of design that unites the biologic, geologic, and synthetic domains through their inherent matter and energy. As such, Matsys works across all scales and pursues a material practice that blends art, design, architecture, and engineering. We are relentlessly curious about and inspired by the diversity and complexity of all matter and strive to understand how to produce new material systems through technological and material innovation.

Matsys has attempted to use our projects as a way to explore and expand the emerging craft of digital fabrication, generative modeling, and code.
