Scaffolds

Scaffold is focused on advancing resilient architectural test-beds that integrate lightweight and flexible components. These components contain compartments and membranes that incorporate responsive computational and fluid circulation systems. Scaffolds are developed with tensile strength, stability and durability in materials such as acrylics, memory shape alloy and mylar to improve the performative quality of required structures. Permanent integration within occupied buildings is a long-term objective.  Projects include: Lightweight Resilient Architectural Scaffolds; Hybrid Building Envelope and Lining; Infrastructures for Fluid, Power, and Data Systems.
