The images showcase experimentations with different Shape Changing Material systems including:
Shape Memory Alloys in fibre reinforced silicon (stimulus = electricity)
Shape Memory Polymers (stimulus = heat)
Natural shape changes with veneer (stimulus = water)
Expansive powder encapsulated in polymer sheets (stimulus=water)
Ferrofluid in perspex box (stimulus= magnetism)
and Shape changes simulations through parametric design
digital simulation can prove to be a very important tool for anticipating behaviours…
