CUT IT, CURLING IT UP //<br />

DYNAMIC TAPESTRY<br />

The goal of the research was to observe physical behavior of a certain material through a series of sample tests, and understand how the<br />

behavior changes by minimal alterations on its physical properties. Based on the founding, the sample units were re-interpreted and<br />

converted into digital model using parametric tools and physical engine to simulate and forecast holistic behavior of the entire system<br />

composed of the units. The dynamic surface is a combination of 7 by 7 diagonally arranged plastic sheet units. Because of its homogeneous<br />

material property, the system doesn’t produce any significant changes in its appearance before individual panels get cut differently. The<br />

cuts and self-weight of the each panel will drive initial deform through the interaction of pulls and pushes between units. The initial deform<br />

can be further exaggerated by supplementary weights at some connecting nodes between panels in a certain area.
