text: Deployable gridshells are a class of planar-to-spatial structures that achievea
3D curved geometry by inducing bending on a flat grid of elastic beams. However,
theslender nature of these beams often conflicts with the structure’s load-bearing
capacity.To address this issue, multiple layers are typically stacked to enhance
out-of-planestiffness and prevent stability issues. The primary challenge then
lies in deploying suchmulti-layered systems globally, as it requires significant
shaping forces for actuation.This paper presents an alternative design approach
that involves strategically connect-ing compact-to-volumetric gridshell components
using weaving principles to shape athick segmented shell. This innovative approach
allows for an incremental construc-tion process based entirely on deployable modules
with volumetric configurations thatlocally provide the necessary structural depth
for the entire system. To demonstrate thisprinciple, we present the realization
of BamX, a research pavilion constructed usingdeployable cylindrical components
made from raw bamboo slats. These componentsare interconnected at carefully optimized
interlocking woven nodes, resulting in abending-active structural frame that is
both strong and exceptionally lightweight. Todetermine the optimal topology and
geometry of the pavilion, we employ an integrativecomputational approach that
leverages advanced numerical optimization techniques.Our method incorporates a
physics-based simulation of the bending and twisting be-havior of the bamboo ribbons.
By finding the ideal locations for ribbon crossings, weensure that all external
and internal forces are in global equilibrium while minimizingthe mechanical stress
experienced by each ribbon. BamX exemplifies how a symbiosisof refined weaving
craft and advanced computational modeling enables fascinatingnew opportunities
for rethinking deployability in architecture.
