This prototype building skin was developed during the Soft Robotics for Architects 2013 Seminar Week (DARCH, ETH Zurich). It was organized by the Adaptive Systems Lab (ASL) as part of the 2013 teaching of the Chair for Architecture & Sustainable Building Technologies (SuAT).
'Disobedience' is a kinetic wall that challenges our perception of architecture as something static, or emotionally inert. The sculpture was built over 9 months by Nassia and a team of engineers. The piece is 56 feet long, about 10 feet tall, and can expand up to 5 feet as it engulfs its visitors when they walk through it.
DESIGN INTENTION: Curate a project that is bio-interactive/break down barriers between conventional objects or installations and biology.
