Indeterminate Architecture : Scissor Pair Transformable Structures

چکیده
Most traditional architectural theories and practices aim at designing unique, fixed and ideal solutions. The general belief is that the final shape of a building can be achieved by analyzing present situations, such as clients’ stated needs, demands and desires. Likewise, this approach is based on descriptions and assumptions, which consider future situations as certain, invariable and in a particular moment in time. However, are the situations of the present representative of a reality to be produced in the future, during the life of the building? And, moreover, are these situations fixed and invariable throughout time?

Flexibility is a concept associated with variable needs of human beings.Today transformable structures are used to meet human changeable demands with different purposes and functions such as facades, roofs, sunshades, etc.A Flexible structure must be able to change physically and adapt to predetermined conditions.To provide flexibility and adaptability,transformable systems are required to poss...
متن کاملA three-dimensional actuated origami-inspired transformable metamaterial with multiple degrees of freedom
Reconfigurable devices, whose shape can be drastically altered, are central to expandable shelters, deployable space structures, reversible encapsulation systems and medical tools and robots. All these applications require structures whose shape can be actively controlled, both for deployment and to conform to the surrounding environment. While most current reconfigurable designs are applicatio...

Experimental results are described related to an experimental setup in which the robot system plays Rock Paper Scissor against
متن کاملGeometric Considerations for the Design of Rigid Origami Structures
Transformable polyhedral surfaces with rigid facets, i.e., rigid origami, are useful for designing kinetic and deployable structures. In order to apply rigid origami to various architectural and other engineering design purposes, it is essential to consider the geometry of origami in kinetic motion and provide sufficiently generalized methods to produce controlled variations of shapes that suit...
