Building on my previous idea of trying to show a parasite encapsulate a host. I experimented with different pneumatic shapes in order to create the motion I wanted….

This week I added dowels to the parasite limbs to extend their range of motion without actually having to create new pouches using the heat sealer: I did…

Parasitic Interventions Last week I explored what a parasitic intervention would look like if humans were the parasite to architecture. However, building fabric architectural elements that respond to…

For this checkpoint, I prototyped the most favorable of my design choices for the bladder to get the movement I wanted In addition, I tested the two input…

Mechanism For the mechanism of my parasite, I suspended a brush above a heat sealed pocket. I experimented with having two pockets on either end of the brush…

I decided to completely change my direction after some feedback on the first checkpoint. I started with a simple hinged pouch and added levers to either side. I…

Prototype 1 The goal of this first prototype was to explore how sealing lines within a pocket could influence the way it scrunches when inflated. Previously I had…

I approached this assignment as a rapid prototyping situation, and I put on an album and told myself I had to be done by the time the album…

In every class exercise we’ve done so far I’ve been really drawn to translucency and see-through materials, so I’m interested in creating a parasite of light. My initial…
