Article:

This paper examines the potential of User Interfaces (UI) and sensor feedback todevelop an intuitive design and fabrication process utilizing granular jamming.By taking advantage of the variable stiffness of granular jamming over time, anadaptive fabrication process is presented in which various structures are formedfrom individual jammed components which can weave or interlock in an overallsystem. A User Interface (UI) is developed as a design tool which would enableinteractive design decisions and operations, based on pre-designed formal andtectonic strategies. The project has four research trajectories that are developedin parallel: (1) material system research; (2) development of an ad hoc digitalrecording system; (3) creation of a computational library that stores users`iterations; and (4) development of a User Interface (UI) that enables users'interaction with the computational library
