We had a blast exploring geometry at the AAG workshop these last two days, building many flexible structures with intricate topologies and surprising transformability from simple flexible ribbon elements.

Thanks to @alisonmartin57.bsky.social , Seiichi Suzuki, Yuanpeng Liu, Hong-Bin Yang.

Join us at AAG this November in Boston for a workshop on elastic gridshells!

Together with @alisonmartin57.bsky.social, Seiichi Suzuki, and Yuanpeng Liu, we will study new typologies of gridshells composed of discrete, reusable elements.

More info on the workshop: www.aag2025.com/workshop-2

These shapes are fascinating and worth studying. I’m working on ways to model them without a 3D printer and I will share instructions if it seems feasible 🤞
