Active bending transformable structures

Story of the project

Ramtin Haghnazar has been working for a year with Fab Lab Tehran as a mentor. Currently working on his PhD in Architectural Technology at the University of Tehran, he developed an R&D section on creative design and organizes workshops with the Fab Lab for students to make them work on digital fabrication and new design processes. Nowadays, he works on a R&D project of “bionic structures”, or how to get new architectural technics inspired by nature.

How does he interact with the Fab Lab?

Ramtin has access to the lab to use the machines and prototypes his tests for his researches on bionic structures. The access to laser cutting and 3D printing allow him to work on different material and construction technics. He understands also the potential for Fab Lab for educational purposes, so he is fully implicated in the creation of new workshops for students.
