We combine materials engineering and digital processing to design print cellulose-based continuous stiffness gradients.
Current examples of passively actuated structures and surfaces show enormous potential in conferring buildings products with the ability to assume multiple spatial configurations without added electrical power. This research focuses on leveraging water‐responsive material properties cotton‐fiber‐reinforced chitosan films enable fast‐actuating (<5 minutes), large scale (∼1 m; 3.3 ft.), passive structural changes a 4m2 (43 ft.2) rain‐responsive canopy prototype consisting cantilevering truss...
Our paper demonstrates a computational design workflow that creates and maps optimal 2D strut layouts based on input 3D shell geometries function as membrane tensegrity (MTS) structures suitable for human occupancy.This links conformal mapping, structural analysis, optimisation algorithms to iterate through series of layout parameters.From these layouts, we generate digital MTS models that, under loading, closely match their respective target models.We validate this across five different has...
Emerging technologies for the built environment typically mature within specialized engineering fields that de¬velop fundamental theories and validate their fitness different applications. In practice this makes practical sense since nascent may pose unforeseen risks to public knowledge often takes years move from first concepts market-ready products. […]
