Responsive Skins
Computational design & fabrication
Seminar taught by Joanne Hayek as part of the Material (In)formation Workshop — DIDI, Fall 2021
Computing patterns that alter the behavior of a flat material by means of cutting.
Departing from a parametric exploration of the traditional patterns of Islamic art and Japanese kirigami, the workshop aimed to design, compute and fabricate ‘Responsive Skins’: performative surfaces that allow for expansion, contraction, double curvature, auxetic systems and more.
