SBINBEN: Smart Bio-inspired Building Envelopes

The SBINBEN project explores the formal characteristics and architectural potential of programmable textiles. Specifically, it is shown how dynamic 3D surface geometries may be generated by printing rigid 2D patterns onto pre-stretched fabric. The resulting surfaces have aesthetic and structural properties similar to adaptive skins found in nature, with potential applications in architecture, interior design, fashion and beyond.
