Given that lack of constraints, the design question for material environments is being posed anew. Given that we spend 90% of our time indoors, how might materials and their designs affect our perception and behavior? Our work on material perception sheds light on selected aspects of this question.<\/p>\n\n\n<section class=\"gsd-posts alignfull\">\n  <div class=\"gsd-posts__grid gsd-posts__grid--3\">\n  <article id=\"post-3804\" class=\"gsd-post-teaser post-3804 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-portfolio tag-perception-research\">\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/research.gsd.harvard.edu\/maps\/2025\/07\/08\/thermal-material-priming\/\" class=\"gsd-post-teaser__thumb\" aria-label=\"Thermal Material Priming\">\n    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2480\" height=\"861\" src=\"https:\/\/research.gsd.harvard.edu\/maps\/files\/2025\/07\/01_Study_rooms_VR_02.png\" class=\"attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"VR study environment\" srcset=\"https:\/\/research.gsd.harvard.edu\/maps\/files\/2025\/07\/01_Study_rooms_VR_02.png 2480w, https:\/\/research.gsd.harvard.edu\/maps\/files\/2025\/07\/01_Study_rooms_VR_02-300x104.png 300w, https:\/\/research.gsd.harvard.edu\/maps\/files\/2025\/07\/01_Study_rooms_VR_02-1024x356.png 1024w, https:\/\/research.gsd.harvard.edu\/maps\/files\/2025\/07\/01_Study_rooms_VR_02-768x267.png 768w, https:\/\/research.gsd.harvard.edu\/maps\/files\/2025\/07\/01_Study_rooms_VR_02-1536x533.png 1536w, https:\/\/research.gsd.harvard.edu\/maps\/files\/2025\/07\/01_Study_rooms_VR_02-2048x711.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2480px) 100vw, 2480px\" \/>  <\/a>\n    <div class=\"gsd-post-teaser__content\">\n    <header class=\"gsd-post-teaser__header\">  \n      <time datetime=\"2025-07-08\">July 8, 2025<\/time>      <h2 class=\"gsd-post-teaser__title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/research.gsd.harvard.edu\/maps\/2025\/07\/08\/thermal-material-priming\/\">Thermal Material Priming<\/a><\/h2>                  <\/header>\n    <div class=\"gsd-post-teaser__body\">\n      <p>Using VR, we studied the effect of interior materials on the subjective perception of temperature, as well as the effect materials have on tolerance to normally uncomfortable temperatures.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n    <a class=\"gsd-post-teaser__more\" href=\"https:\/\/research.gsd.harvard.edu\/maps\/2025\/07\/08\/thermal-material-priming\/\">More<\/a>\n        <div class=\"gsd-post-teaser__tags t-allcaps\">\n              <a href=\"https:\/\/research.gsd.harvard.edu\/maps\/tag\/perception-research\/\" title=\"perception research\">perception research<\/a>\n          <\/div>        \n      <\/div>\n<\/article><!-- #post-3804 -->\n<article id=\"post-3732\" class=\"gsd-post-teaser post-3732 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-portfolio tag-perception-research\">\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/research.gsd.harvard.edu\/maps\/2025\/05\/02\/material-perception-exhibition-venice-architecture-biennale-2025\/\" class=\"gsd-post-teaser__thumb\" aria-label=\"\u2018Material Perception\u2019 Exhibition @ Venice Architecture Biennale 2025\">\n    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/research.gsd.harvard.edu\/maps\/files\/2025\/05\/IMG_0169-scaled.jpg\" class=\"attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"4 ceramic artifacts in space\" srcset=\"https:\/\/research.gsd.harvard.edu\/maps\/files\/2025\/05\/IMG_0169-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/research.gsd.harvard.edu\/maps\/files\/2025\/05\/IMG_0169-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/research.gsd.harvard.edu\/maps\/files\/2025\/05\/IMG_0169-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/research.gsd.harvard.edu\/maps\/files\/2025\/05\/IMG_0169-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/research.gsd.harvard.edu\/maps\/files\/2025\/05\/IMG_0169-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/research.gsd.harvard.edu\/maps\/files\/2025\/05\/IMG_0169-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/>  <\/a>\n    <div class=\"gsd-post-teaser__content\">\n    <header class=\"gsd-post-teaser__header\">  \n      <time datetime=\"2025-05-02\">May 2, 2025<\/time>      <h2 class=\"gsd-post-teaser__title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/research.gsd.harvard.edu\/maps\/2025\/05\/02\/material-perception-exhibition-venice-architecture-biennale-2025\/\">\u2018Material Perception\u2019 Exhibition @ Venice Architecture Biennale 2025<\/a><\/h2>                  <\/header>\n    <div class=\"gsd-post-teaser__body\">\n      <p>\u2018Material Perception\u2019 Exhibition @ Venice Architecture Biennale 2025 Cairns are markers on land \u2013 across cultures, across time, across languages.
