Deployable structure

Deployable structures refer to any type of structure that has at least two sizes and/or configurations. Any tent qualifies, as does an umbrella. These object transform radically from their stored s…

Cornell architecture undergrads Jimmy Chen and Jennifer Wang made this scale model of the Cutty Sark Pavilion for their structures assignment. We’re impressed that they so faithfully reverse engineered the building through their own parametric model. Nice work!

ABSTRACT This research addresses the problem of dynamic structures seen from their struc-tural morphology and function in the field of architecture. Dynamic structures and specifically scissor syst…

In this paper, we present a novel cylindrical deployable structure and variations of its design with the following characteristics: 1. Flat-foldable: The shape flattens into a compact 2D configuration. 2. Rigid-foldable: Each element does not deform throughout the transformation. 3. One-DOF: The mechanism has exactly one degree of freedom. 4. Thick: Facets can be substituted with thick or multilayered panels without introducing the distortion of elements.
