"From Solid to Motion" explores deployable kinetic architecture through an adaptive scissor structure system. Combining parametric logic, finite element analysis (FEA), and topology optimization, the project transforms digital kinematics into a 1:1 physical prototype. Fabricated via laser-cut metal plates and precise assembly, the structure overcomes kinematic dead-centers while optimizing material usage. It establishes a repeatable design-to-fabrication workflow for resilient, site-agnostic span structures.
