Responsive Structures
This project was created for ‘Responsive Structures’ (CEE 32H) alongside twenty-one students, and it inhabited the grove outside the Anderson Collection. This class was taught by Beverly Choe and Jun Sato.
Straddling the disciplines of architecture and structural engineering, we created a membrane tensegrity system to form a sculptural installation on the grounds of the Anderson Collection. Primarily using slender hardwood dowels and Amaike Super organza fabric (which weighs just 5 grams per meter), we explored the spatial, organizational, and experiential potential of these materials, creating an archipelago of forms that responded to the natural oculus created by the surrounding trees.
Created in collaboration with Aaron Adriano, Julien Broussard, Dagny Elise Carlson, Krain Chen, Willa Crowell, David Dunn, Elijah Ezralow, Jessica Gonzales, Maya Green, Katie Han, Rian Lian, Joseph McDonald, Aisha Olasewere, Ethan Petersen, Kai Rayle, Nicko Rucker, Marieta Santelices, Theo Strauss, Alex Strong, Kelsey Wang and Simba Xu.
