Bio-Inspired Folding Techniques Workshop

This four-hour workshop introduces bio-inspired folding as a research-creation methodology at the intersection of design, engineering, and living systems. Moving beyond representation of natural phenomena, participants will explore folding as a performative, speculative, and relational process that translates principles of growth, locomotion, deployability, adaptation, and responsiveness into material form. Through hands-on experimentation and introduction to techniques of origami and tesselation, among others, participants will prototype paper and fabric structures, foregrounding folding as a medium for developing soft and adaptive applications.
