Questo progetto esplora il potenziale inesplorato di PolRe®, un materiale ibrido di fibra sintetica, nel campo delle strutture cinetiche interattive leggere e delle superfici decorative. Comprende diversi ambiti, tra cui il design interattivo di costruzioni leggere, ibridi tessili attivi alla flessione, ricerca della forma, economia circolare e personalizzazione di massa. La ricerca si sviluppa attraverso tre fasi principali: progettazione del prototipo, simulazione e ottimizzazione parametrica e test su scala fisica. La metodologia utilizzata prevede i seguenti approcci: Simulazione delle prestazioni meccaniche mediante analisi agli elementi finiti (FEA), utilizzando Kangaroo e Karamba per analizzare il comportamento strutturale e lo strumento parametrico GH per simulare le superfici di tessitura. Utilizzo dello strumento di ottimizzazione multi-obiettivo evolutivo Wallacei per dare priorità agli obiettivi attraverso tre principali obiettivi: minimizzazione del consumo di materiale, riduzione dello spostamento delle forze e massimizzazione del volume di copertura disponibile. Integrazione del sistema interattivo Arduino nel modello fisico per controllare il comportamento dinamico e i sistemi di illuminazione, migliorando così l'esperienza utente. Guida all'utilizzo dei materiali e applicazioni pratiche di tessitura a mano tramite un sito web parametrico personalizzato, facilitando un approccio oculato ed efficiente alla costruzione. L'obiettivo di questa ricerca è sviluppare un prototipo di strutture tessili ibride user-friendly, in grado di essere assemblato e smontato e personalizzabile. Questi prototipi mostreranno un'interattività e una variabilità maggiori, consentendo loro di adattarsi a diverse esigenze spaziali. Esplorando il potenziale del prototipo "weaving octopus", questo progetto mira a contribuire agli avanzamenti nel design delle costruzioni leggere promuovendo nel contempo pratiche sostenibili nel campo dell'architettura tessile.
