Shellular Funicular Materials

This research introduces an alternative design strategy based on the static equilibrium of forces, equilibrium of polyhedral frames, and reciprocity of form and force. This novel approach reveals a geometric relationship among the truss system architecture, topological dual, and equilibrium of forces on the basis of 3D graphic statics.

Shellular Funicular Structures

This research proposes a novel approach to translate a cellular polyhedral geometry into a polyhedral surface-based structure (shellulars) in PGS that is comparable to the widely known minimal surface geometries in the context of structural design, bridging the gap between cellular polyhedral geometries and surface-based structures.

Self-folding Origami Structures

Although one can design Shellular Funicular Structures (SFSs) using Polyhedral Graphic Statics (PGS), the fabrication process of these structures might be time consuming and labor intensive. In order to fabricate these structures out of a flat sheet of material and automating the fabrication process,

Performance Machine

The main idea in this project is designing a future theater for utopian era concentrating on the robotic fabrication and its role to keep alive ornaments’ culture. Theaters’ buildings have been considered as part of the performance themselves as far as complex decorations are concerned, But these decorations require a lot of effort, energy and

Hystrics | Interactive agents

This study delves into the realm of human and non-human interactions by employing interactive design principles. Hystrics, a collection of robots, engage with their surroundings through a combination of sound and motion. These remarkable machines possess an outer shell made of carbon fiber, while their inner framework is pneumatic,

CRAFT

The principal focus of this workshop's research agenda centered on investigating methodologies for the construction of free-form surface structures utilizing composite materials through the application of the 'Flexible Forming' technique. Within this context, the transformation of a doubly curved surface into a formwork was pursued
