This project investigates the application of active bending systems to develop innovative 3D structural forms utilizing cane as a primary material. Active bending exploits the material's elastic deformation properties to achieve self-stabilizing configurations, optimizing structural performance while enabling intricate spatial geometries. By integrating computationally derived differential patterning algorithms, the project tailors geometric responses to material constraints and load paths, resulting in forms that balance efficiency and complexity. The synergy of computational design and material behavior is leveraged to craft adaptive, stress-resilient structures that exemplify precision-engineered aesthetics, emphasizing the intersection of advanced simulation tools and sustainable, bio-based material systems.
