Responsive Morphologies proposes an integrated approach to façade design that rethinks thermal mass for an era of circular and lightweight construction. Instead of relying on heavy materials to maintain indoor comfort, the project explores how computational design, large-scale additive manufacturing, and responsive materials can be integrated in a recyclable wall system for lightweight buildings.
The printed geometry is based on triply periodic minimal surfaces, enabling continuous toolpaths, high structural performance, and maximized surface area for thermal exchange.
