TensionFab: Fabrication of Room-scale Surface Structures From the Tension-Active Form of Planar Modules

We propose TensionFab, a novel technique for creating shape-changeable room-scale structures. This method employs easily available planar materials (plywood, MDF), cuts them into multiple 2D shapes, and then connects the pieces manually to create a unified structure capable of 2D and 3D deformations. Constructed Tensi…
