Using VR, we studied the effect of interior materials on the subjective perception of temperature, as well as the effect materials have on tolerance to normally uncomfortable temperatures.
The installation exposes the lost histories and unrecognized imaginations of creativity born in spite of the segregation and land vacancy found in ‘Black Belt’ neighborhoods of Chicago’s South Side.
This project discusses the development of a 3D printing process to manufacture porous ceramic materials from clay for thermal insulation and passive cooling in buildings.
This work was an opportunistic approach which arose when the hinges were oriented at an angle (inclined) to the base surface. Based on the nature of the hinges, Inclined Auxetic structures can be further sub-categorized into buckling based and kinematic based.
Kiriform allows for axisymmetric sheet assemblies to transform from 2D to 3D shapes through a carefully engineered buckling of curvilinear struts or fins.
