Designing What Comes Next: Emerging Ideas for Sustainable Interiors
Origami Kinetic Shells: Future of Sustainable Architecture
Origami tessellations that form curved surfaces are typically compliant and cannot achieve high load-bearing capacity. By computing fold patterns for prescribed surfaces and embedding pre-tensioned tendons, we achieve reversible, on-demand stiffness tuning across orders of magnitude . This enables flat-pack transport and scalable deployment of smooth, rigid shells for adaptive architecture and metamaterials .
Adaptive Furniture: Designing Interiors That Change With Life
Adaptive furniture offers one response by allowing a product or system to change configuration rather than being replaced when circumstances change. This analysis considers how reconfiguration can influence the useful life of furniture, the efficiency of limited interior space, and the relationship between furniture and changing human needs.
Recycled 3D Printing Waste in Spatial Design
Rather than turning discarded plastic into another conventional object, Ninefold uses recycled material as part of an immersive environment where sound, light and form interact.
Upcycled Materials in Design
Discover Iranzo’s Cloudy Lamp: a poetic sculpture where industrial net, resin, and light merge to explore memory and void. A collectible design piece that floats between function and imagination.
