Project Description: Inspired by Hoberman’s angled scissor mechanisms in Geodesic and Iris Domes, we developed a range of transformable and portable structures at various scales. These designs include the Expandable Sphere, the Deployable Curved Surface (a Cyberspace Generator), and the Square-like Deployable Ceiling with foldable covering components. The outcomes of our exploration into geometric transformations were exhibited to showcase the beauty of motion, using repeated simple geometric elements to form complex and dynamic patterns.
