In a team of 6, we designed and built a 10 ft inflatable.

This design transforms traditionally 2-dimensional auxetic patterns into 3-dimensional forms, with focus on the translational and centripetal motion that occurs within the forms individual components and overall composition during inflation. The transformations that occur while the form inflates supply an infinite number of transient states that each provide their own interactions with space, light, and imposed boundaries. Two forms are displayed, composed of identical auxetic patterns but contrasting in material, scale, and density.
​We iterated and explored several patterns before building the final 10 ft units. The final constructions were made of mylar and thin plastic.
