Event Description

The “Shape Changing Materials” workshop brings together smart materials with computational design and digital fabrication in context to garments or wearables.

This 3-day workshop explores the possibilities of interactive wearable projects and finding alternative ways to use smart materials. The participants will experiment with responsive shape-shifting materials with 3D modeling and computation-based approaches using Rhinoceros and Grasshopper.

Along with hands-on prototyping, codes will be provided for participants and workshop guests to generate a digitally simulated materials. The final outcome will be prototypes of shape changing materials to discover garment behavior. Participants will use user-centered methods to contextualize the use cases of an interactive garment solution.
