In the 21st century, with advancements in construction technologies, there is a huge scope of creating multi-purpose spaces using deployable and dynamic systems. To create a control environment for a very diverse climate conditions, deployable systems can play a significant role.
This course delves deeply into the structure mechanics, design, and performance of deployable and dynamic systems. Students will explore essential aspects of mechanics, gaining the skills necessary to analyze and optimize structural behavior in deployable systems, which is vital for engineers aiming to ensure both durability and functionality.
Core areas include the creation of deployable systems adaptable to multiple environments where elements such as heat, light, ventilation, and shading are designed to enhance both sustainability and human comfort. The concept of deployable structures used in roofs, façades, partitions, and walls offers the potential for multifunctional spaces. These deployable elements will be examined for their dynamic responsiveness to varying climatic conditions, contributing to enhanced functionality exploring modulation of energy addressing seasonal changes.
By the end of the course, students will be equipped with the knowledge and skills to design deployable structures that enhance energy efficiency and human comfort, playing a crucial role in the development of sustainable, future-ready infrastructures.
