C-Strands

C-Strands is a reconfigurable, interactive and community-driven play structure commissioned for the Cambridge City Hall Annex. People of all ages and backgrounds can re-shape the sculpture, collectively defining a community driven play environment. Each strand is made from a number of hollow-plastic units, connected along their axis then tethered together for flexibility and robustness. C-Strands leverages research on self-reconfiguration, protein folding and programmable materials to create a unique human-scale sculpture with near limitless geometric possibilities.
