Materialitzades

Materialitzades is the feminine plural form of the past participle of the Catalan verb materialitzar, meaning "materialized" or "realized." As an adjective or noun phrase it describes ideas, plans, or hypotheses that have been turned into tangible forms or concrete outcomes. In scholarly and professional writing, the term often signals a transition from concept to practice.

Etymology: The root is materialitzar, from Late Latin materialis via French and other Romance languages into Catalan. The corresponding noun is materialització, and the plural feminine form materialitzades is used for subjects that are themselves feminine plural.

Contexts and usage: The term is used across disciplines such as architecture, product design, visual arts, urban planning, and science to indicate that a concept has been implemented, prototyped, or exhibited. Examples include the materialització of a design idea as a physical model, an experimental setup that materialitza a hypothesis, or a public installation that makes an abstract proposal tangible.

See also: In Catalan discourse, materialitzades is contrasted with processes like dematerialització (the movement away from physical forms) and with virtualització or digital fabrication, which can produce non-physical or semi-physical realizations. It is closely related to terms describing prototyping, fabrication, and demonstration.

Note: The term is primarily used in Catalan-language contexts. In other languages, equivalents such as "materialization" or "materializzazione" are used, with meanings that may vary by discipline.
