RESONANCE SYSTEM

Resonant Chamber is an interior envelope system that deploys the principles of rigid origami to transform the acoustic environment through dynamic spatial, material and electro-acoustic technologies. Our aim is to develop a soundsphere able to adjust its properties in response to changing sonic conditions, altering the sound of a space during performance and creating an instrument at the scale of architecture, flexible enough that it might be capable of being played. The project is developed through three streams of iterative research and development in both computational testing and full-scale prototype installation: Dynamic Surface Geometries; Performative Material Systems; and Variable Actuation and Response.

ACOUSTIC ADAPTIVE PANEL

Tunable Sound Cloud is a responsive architectural application that allows for real-time modification and enhancement of acoustic performance of space. TSC focuses on our auditory experience of architecture.

Designed with a responsive modular structure and interactive smart surface.
Interfaced through Grasshopper/Rhino 3D modeling tool + Max/MSP software.
Actuated with Arduino micro-controllers/geared motors + SMA wires.
