Abstract

Concerns with sustainability are providing an increasingly powerful impetus towards the investigation of dynamic and adaptive architectures. This presents an increased overlap with the discipline of Robotics making collaboration between the two fields interesting and potentially fruitful.
This paper presents cross-disciplinary work-in-progress that is investigating how standard materials might be organised and processed in novel ways to promote active physical transform of architectural structures and to assess the impact that multi-scalar shape change might have upon environmental performance.
This work builds upon prior research investigating tensegrities and other pneumatics including free-form inflated metal.
