How can we create continuously variable surfaces?
This project looks into the future, fusing technology, biology, and design to create more dynamic physical spaces and objects that self-manipulate in shape.
The final solution, the "Tetramorph", when repeated within a membrane, is an optimal geometric model for a continuously variable surface. It is a variable octet truss which is both extremely structurally sound and offers the essential degrees of freedom.
