BY : Anusha Arunkumar, Silasalin Krisanarungkhun, Marina Lazareva, Mahdi Najafi The main approach of this exercise for us was to find and test the some parameters that may influence the structures that are really work with tensional integrity or better to say tensegrity. So we tried to study the behavior of different geometries and joints, and figure [...]

DIS WORKSHOP_ Folding and Counter Balance
The design idea was based on generating a shell cantilever structure with minimal foot print. For achieving this purpose multiple configuration were explored as an evolution, where each iteration was informed by the previous one. The final piece consisted in a folded structure, where the material thickness (counter balance), type and density [...]

DIS_Workshop_Expanding Structure_Group7
Ksenia Dyusembaeva, Borislav Schalev, Alejandro Carrillo, Philip Serif Proposing a lateral/forward expansion structure. Perhaps reinforced by cables and skin systems. Initial model showing lateral + forward expansion/contraction. Analysis to ensure greater rigidity in the cantilever, reducing deformation and stresses in general. First 3d setup of structural system, exploring effects of forces. [...]
