With climate change, more extreme weather is to be expected, with that rain [1]. Rain is limiting our outer space; we want to reclaim the outside by making it comfortable and enjoyable again. We worked with material explorations, user input, and existing technologies and products as inspiration for our final product. E-lement: the futuristic social foldable smart rain hood was developed for connecting and motivating closely related people to go out in the rain. We contribute to the well-being and the human-to-human and human-to-nature relationship, next to a comfortable enriched experience
in the rain. This study contributes to insights into the use of material exploration and studio
methodology.
