The Swirl
Project type
Self-shaping composite
Date
2023
Collaboration
The project was designed and manufactured in collaboration with Gal Kapon, Lahav Bagrish, Tali Palmon, Prof. Eran Sharon, and Dr. Arielle Blonder.
Role
Computational design specialist with expertise in 4D materials.
I contributed to the conceptual design, detailed design, analysis, and fabrication of the partition.
The swirl is an architectural piece made of frustrated composites. In search of more sustainable fabrication processes with reduced material and energy waste as well as transportation carbon footprint, frustrated composites suggest mouldless fabrication of fibre composite surfaces, based on self-shaping. Triggered by heat, the resulting 3D shape is the result of differential shrinkage, dictated by fibre pattern.
