Abstract

The presented project is a part of a larger body of an ongoing design research that investigates the potential for kinetic and responsive architectural skin systems to influence the use of space and users' behavior. The project explores the integration of custom-made soft robotic muscles into a component-based surface. The result of this project is a prototype of a light modular system capable of kinetic response to external stimuli such as occupancy or atmospheric conditions. The project focuses on kinetics of architectural surfaces and tectonics that integrate stasis and motion. It investigates the potential for a 'programmable' architectural modular system that simultaneously addresses stability, dynamics and adaptability of a material system. The project is informed by a history of pneumatic structures, the technology of soft robotics, and a kit-of-parts design strategy.
