As mentioned earlier, the freedom to experiment on form also gives rise to new
insights on how materials could be applied by drawing relations to the physical properties
of practical materials used to actual building materials in terms of their character (flexible,
rigid, hard, soft, durable, etc) as well as their appearance (textured patterns, glossy, doff,
opaque, transparent, translucent, etc). As a result, the design products of the holistic
mind-mapping approach by using experiments do not only reveal creativity in producing
new forms and design elements as what was expected but also innovative applications of
materials which contribute to the interior composition and atmosphere rather than just
