Exemplar Flexible - Carlo Ratti


Carlo Ratti's ideas presented here on Sense-Actuate could be a useful tool in making a Flexible solution, architecture could sense the needs of its occupants and provide appropriate feedback. This example would be very different from the previous examples where a structure was provided that people used in a flexible way. In the example below by Maria Mingallon, Sakthivel Ramaswamy, Konstantinos Karatzas a material has been developed that senses changes in temperature, humidity and strain and responds by changing shape.
