TEXTILE MORPHOLOGIES @TEXFAB V
jacob navarez + khang nguyen / prof. Sean Ahlquist
This workshop explores the potential of utilizing CNC knitted textiles to create intricate force-active structures through a combination of physical and computational form-finding techniques. The investigations were conducted using a custom-built software, springFORM, which enables the integration of tensile and bending-active forces.
The objective is to develop a single large-scale structure by combining the CNC knitted textiles with glass-fiber reinforced composite (GFRP) rods, creating a composite system that leverages the unique properties of both materials.
