Institute of Making
Summary
The Institute of Making is a multidisciplinary research club based at University College London. Comprised of the Materials Library and the MakeSpace, its work focuses on hands-on research into materials and making from many different perspectives. Members are encouraged to "make, break, design and combine both advanced and traditional tools, techniques and materials"[1]. It was founded by directors Mark Miodownik, Zoe Laughlin and Martin Conreen in 2010[2] at Kings College London and moved to UCL in 2012, officially opening on 16th March 2013[3]. The Institute has produced some notable projects and research in the fields of making and maker culture, including atomic force microscopy and sensoaesthetics.
