Treball desenvolupat dins el marc del programa 'European Project Semester'. The purpose of this paper is to explain the design process of an interactive material library in detail and show the methods that were used during the project to reach our goal. Research and tests show that material libraries have a great importance in design processes; this is because of they knowledge they bring to creators to enhance the performance, aesthetics and sustainability of their projects. Our team was able to develop an eye-catching, accessible, interactive library that accommodates three design aspects which were established at the beginning stages in the project; the physical library at the University of Antwerp’s campus, a digital database and a complementary app. All of our objectives were accomplished by systemizing each phase starting from the business canvas, to brainstorming, to designing with the requirement in mind, which was to create an Interactive Material Library; by this means, MAT 94 was created.
