Choreographed Soft Morphologies: exploring new ways of ideating soft architecture through material elasticity by Marina Castán, Daniel Suárez

“…The findings showed that: 1) the direct experience of collaboratively interacting with a soft and elastic interface allows the identification of the dynamic qualities of the material in relation to oneself and others, facilitating an immediate spatial meaning-making process; 2) exploring the design of a soft and elastic space through choreography and motion capture technology contributes to the creation of augmented relational scales across physical and digital realms, proposing a new hybrid design method; 3) the soft and elastic interface becomes a new entity when shaped by the body (textile-body ontology) giving the opportunity for a variety of formal expressions and offering a source of digital raw material for architectural design. …”
