Animated Materiality Exhibit
This work represents ongoing research into the ways physical environments can register, respond to, and resonate with human affective states.
Building on a series of empirical studies conducted as part of Professor Richter-Lunn’s doctoral dissertation, the project extends these findings through the design and fabrication of a full-scale prototype that demonstrates the aesthetic, embodied, and interactive potential of programmable materials. Using physiological sensing to drive subtle material responses, the installation explores how architecture can dynamically engage with the body rather than remain static. More broadly, the research contributes to larger discussions around the role of advanced technological tools, such as physical computing and machine learning, in increasing the malleability of the built environment and advancing socially engaged, human-centered design practices.

Animated Materiality Exhibit
This work represents ongoing research into the ways physical environments can register, respond to, and resonate with human affective states.
Building on a series of empirical studies conducted as part of Professor Richter-Lunn’s doctoral dissertation, the project extends these findings through the design and fabrication of a full-scale prototype that demonstrates the aesthetic, embodied, and interactive potential of programmable materials. Using physiological sensing to drive subtle material responses, the installation explores how architecture can dynamically engage with the body rather than remain static. More broadly, the research contributes to larger discussions around the role of advanced technological tools, such as physical computing and machine learning, in increasing the malleability of the built environment and advancing socially engaged, human-centered design practices.
