Tension Active Structure Simulation

A complex articulated equilibrium in the form of tridimensional curvature patterns is delineated through the interaction between two divergent material behaviors. On one hand the stored elastic energy of stretched textile, on the other hand the stiffness of a thermoplastic polymer distributed heterogeneously through 3d printed algorithmically generated patterns. The two material components form a hybrid system with smooth aesthetic appearance, inherent material efficiency and structural stability.
