Title: Design of Deployable Structures Based on Geometry and Biomimetics

Abstract
This research investigates deployable structures that can be compactly folded for transportation and storage and expanded to form spatial configurations. To address challenges such as material interference due to thickness, fabrication complexity, and construction safety, three fundamental operations—folding, cutting, and weaving—are identified and systematically applied as design strategies. Drawing on biomimetic principles inspired by insect hindwings and fungal net-like structures, the study develops geometry-based design models for each operation. By integrating geometry, biomimetics, and deployable design, this research demonstrates new possibilities for architectural deployable structures.

発表タイトル: 幾何学および生物模倣に基づく展開構造物の設計

要旨:
本研究は、運搬・収納時に小さく折りたたみ、展開によって空間を構成する展開構造物を対象とする。部材厚みによる干渉や施工の複雑性といった課題に対し、「折る」「切る」「編む」という三つの形態操作を整理し、それぞれに対応した設計手法を提案した。さらに、ハサミムシ後翅やキヌガサタケ菌網などの生物構造を模倣し、幾何学的条件に基づく設計モデルを構築した。これにより、展開構造物の新たな設計可能性を示す。
