Descripción
Sumario:The following study aims to report and analyze the design process and the results developed in the “Tensegrity: Parameterization and Prototyping” workshop, held at the Digital Futures 2022 event. The theoretic foundation is based on a Master’s research carried out at the (omitted for review) University with the (omitted for review) research group. During the meetings, classes were developed based on prototyping methods, parametric modeling and bioinspiration, with the goal of bringing digital processes closer to project development, feeding back the models experienced in practice, analyzing assembly difficulties and discussing the advantages of Tensegrity concerning reducing impacts on nature. Two project challenges were launched, which raised the discussion of technology and its use, resulting in possible solutions to be applied either on the Pantanal of Mato Grosso do Sul or on Mars. The paper presents the results from the workshop and discusses its methods, strategies and the concepts of the developed projects.
