ACTIVE BENDING STRUCTURES
The material research is focused on bending behavior and bending actuation to design a system which can react on environmental influences such as humidity. The research is based on active bending behavior which can be found in organic materials as for instance wood. The deformation of wood is affected by several factors such as grain [...]

Pneumatic . Soft Skin
The design research was focused on inflation and its effect on material behavior. Working with air inflation as an external stimuli, several materials were tested and filtered (silicone, liquid rubber, latex…). Silicone is the main component which could act as a soft inner structure or could be coated on other material layers.Throughout [...]
Ferrofluids
Students: Devika Chandrababu, Fathimath Sujna Shakir, Ninada Kasyap Objective:Exploring the potential application of Ferrofluid in architecture. Description: Ferrofluid is a stable colloidal suspension of sub-domain magnetic particles in a liquid carrier. It becomes strongly magnetized in the presence of a magnetic field. Our objective is to study the various properties and behavior of ferrofluids. Various experiments were [...]

HydroPhobics
Team : Anusha Arun | Kunaljit Singh Chadha | Yessica Mendez Intent : Working with nanoscale particles to change the original behaviour of a material. Preface : The Hydrophobic effect observed is a tendency of non-polar substances to aggregate aqueous solutions and exclude water molecules.The word Hydrophobic literally [...]
