MORPHs 2.0: First Steps
October 12, 2014

A performative octahedral structure developed at the Interactive Architecture Lab , by Ruairi Glynn, William Bondin and Francois Mangion. The first steps were recorded during testing at the bmade robotics lab, The Bartlett School of Architecture (UCL).
Thanks to all those who provided their expertise and support during design and fabrication.

Mobile Reconfigurable Polyhedra - MORPHs

Published on Feb 24, 2014

MORPHs, short for Mobile Reconfigurable Polyhedra, are motive architectural structures which can crawl and self-assemble in order to encourage social interaction through play. These playful robotic creatures encourage the public to choreograph them into dance routines, assemble them into complex sculptural geometries or else play music at them, which they will play back over time. Groups of people can interact at any one time and eventually develop a dialogue amongst participants, through the use of contemporary digital technology.
