Unlike Plato who proposed that form is an ideal essence that exists outside the objects, Aristotle and Deleuze argued that form is an actualization of matter potentials.

In post-digital era, where the distinction between digital and non-digital is no longer a concern, form is expanded to include the behavior of materials as a generative part of design formation in which “thinking and doing, design and fabrication, and prototype and final design become blurred, interactive, and part of a...
