project was developed within the framework: cluster of excellence "matters of activity"of HU Berlin

Pneumatic Cellular Surface explores the programmed shape-change of an inflatable latex-surface. It consists of spherical chambers called "cells",organized in simple, layered grids. By intentionally restricting airflow at certain areas, the prototype can "grow" into several shapes.
