JellyCube

Stella Shen

Jellycube – a programmable shape-changing material that unlocks capacity unknown to conventional architected materials with embedded cross-dimensional mobility. With support from the Frank-Ratchye STUDIO for Creative Inquiry Frank-Ratchye Further Fund and CMU Architecture, PhD Candidate Stella Shen is inviting scholars, artists, and technologists to play with this materially adaptable and scalable body. Together, we’ll open routes towards adaptive machines, multifunctional robotic materials, and physically intelligent systems.
