Shape-shifting mechanics for life-like cities

About us

In the Adaptive Structures Lab, we aim to understand and apply the mechanics of shape-shifting — that is, compelling structures to change shape on demand, or in response to a stimulus — for designs that can make the built environment more life-like and resilient. Our research is experimentally-driven, and informed by simulations and mathematical modeling.
