Research in mechanical metamaterials has achieved extreme, unprecedented properties by
exploiting inhomogeneity in the form of periodic structures, enabled by advances in digital …

The principles of origami design have proven useful in a number of technological
applications. Origami tessellations in particular constitute a class of morphing metamaterials …

The purpose of this paper is to propose an optimization method for shape design of Auxetic
Bending-Active Gridshells (ABAGs). A 2-dimensional auxetic structure has negative …

This study presents the outcomes and findings of a three-step experimentation to integrate
analog and digital design and modeling techniques, with a particular focus on augmenting …

The present work investigates programmable auxetic surfaces and how they can be enabled
to achieve a general surface shape upon external control. To actively generate target …

We propose an interactive computational design method for deployable auxetic shells. We
realize deployable auxetics as triangular linkages that can be actuated with simple …

Advancements in computational tools are offering designers the possibility to change their
relationship with materials and establishing new synergies between matter, form and …

Organic form is a kind of specific geometry significant for architectural design. Contemporary
digital technology has made the design of organic form increasingly accessible, but …

This paper presents a design method of Auxetic Bending-Active Gridshells (ABAGs), which
are curved surfaces generated from the initial flat grid with 2-dimensional auxetic patterns …

During the last decades, computational design in architecture moved from an experimental
endeavour to a more mature field of research and practice. Early explorations have been …
