Folding Floorplan

The goal of our design is to create a grand entrance leading into Blake Hall for Rutgers Day. Our system will manipulate the axis of a continuous material with a crease, causing the axis to change. This 2D materical will become dynamic and 3D after its transformation. The transformation responds to current surrounding conditions creating functional uses of space within the creases/folds. For example, if there is a tree in the middle of our "plot" the folds will morph around the tree, adapting the the environment. We hope to create overheads structure and seating out of this contiunous material. The rule of the project is to start with a grad and from there let nature influence design decisions.
