Estructuras desplegables y transformables | [bv]bitácora virtual. Vía el blog “Le territoire des sens” he llegado a este otro blog “Space Symmetry Structure” de Daniel Piker, estudiante de arquitectura en Londres, quien ha publicado estos interesantes videos con ensayos sobre plegabilidad, estructuración de superficies (al estilo del arte del origami) y estructuras desplegables. Deployable/Transformable Structures from Daniel Piker on Vimeo.
En el campo de las estructuras, la posibilidad de sistemas plegables y colapsables es una rica vertiente que siempre me ha atraído, y en la cual se han creado exquisitos ejemplos de estructuras dinámicas que al transformarlas y desplegarlas obtienes sistemas reticulados soportantes. Aunque la principal desventaja en el caso de estructuras reticuladas, y como todos supondrán, es que las articulaciones o rótulas de estas estructuras son un punto débil, cuya sobreexigencia puede producir un fallo por fatiga. Pero distinto es el caso de los planos con dobleces y plegamientos. Rigid Origami from Daniel Piker on Vimeo. Transformable Design Strategies. Transformable Design Strategies Wednesday, March 04, 2009 | 11:00am - 1:00pm The capacity to transform is a trait of all living organisms.
In his talk, Chuck Hoberman will demonstrate how designed objects can behave like organisms, transforming their size and shape in a complete, continuous manner. Hoberman will speak about his theory of transformability, and describe his work in deployable shelters, consumer products and medical instruments. Hoberman will also discuss how his practice is applying the principles of transformable design to architectural projects. Hoberman's ongoing collaborative projects with firms such as Foster + Partners, Nikken Sekkai and others will be presented. Biography: Nowhere do the disciplines of art, architecture and engineering fuse as seamlessly as in the work of inventor Chuck Hoberman, internationally known for his "transformable structures.

Amusements in Mathematics. It was also in "Amusements in Mathematics" that Dudeney referred to the drive that humans have to think and work out conundrums, to satisfy that natural curiosity. He wrote in the preface to "Amusements in Mathematics," "The history of mathematical puzzles entails nothing short of the actual story of the beginnings and development of exact thinking in man.
" Dudeney's passion for math and math puzzles began at an early age. In fact, is quite likely that he inherited his love of math from his grandfather. Dudeney's grandfather was a shepherd, but he also taught himself mathematics as well as astronomy. He became so enthralled with math, though, that he eventually stopped shepherding and became a schoolmaster. Additionally, Dudeney's father was a school teacher. Dudeney's grandfather taught him chess when he was very young.
Despite his love of math, Dudeney did not have a formal education. In his book, "Amusements in Mathematics," Dudeney wrote of the psychology of puzzles. En-nocilis. Transformable Architecture. It moves! It transforms?! The Sphere is only one of many bizarrely transforming toys that New York-based Chuck Hoberman has developed in more than fifteen years. But he is also deeply into changing the shapes of responsive architecture . On the way to his current exhibit at the Kitakyushu Innovation Gallery , the inventor made a quick stop in Tokyo for an impressive presentation at, you guessed it, Pecha Kucha .
PingMag wanted to know all about transformable architecture ! Written by Verena To tickle your mind as you watch: “Switch Pitch” from 2004. © Hoberman Designs, Inc. You are kind of an architectural inventor – do you come from an engineering background or are you an architect? My original background is in fine arts and sculpture, my first university degree. It started with transformable sculptures: The “expanding geodesic dome” from 1991 at the Liberty Science Center in New Jersey. So, when did you start with the toys, like the famous Sphere or the more recent Switch Pitch ? Yes.
