This project was part of a Masters of Architecture design studio in Digital Architecture from the University of Sydney, Australia. After becoming interested in Electroactive Polymers and their potential as a performative installation we came upon the Materiability Research Network. From tutorials and videos posted on this site we successfully fabricated our own EAP. This process took place over 4 months at the end of 2012.
