This research project explores the integration of air-driven thermoplastic textile composites (TTCs) to create dynamic, sensorial spaces inspired by natural systems. The project draws from biomimicry, particularly the responsive behavior of the Mimosa pudica plant, the soothing sounds of a bamboo forest, and the lightweight structures of insect wings. By combining CNC knitting, 3D printing, and pneumatic actuation, the project creates a system capable of responsive, kinetic behavior with a focus on ambient sound and lightweight form. Through a series of material experiments and design iterations, the project advances the development of TTCs, addressing challenges like consistent adhesion, dynamic porosity,…
