The deployable structure is made of two 2 meter square sheets of plywood connected by folded columns in the middle. It uses kerfing, which are 0.3mm gaps cut into the plywood, to allow the sheets to bend and the structure to deploy. The structure is lightweight, low-cost, and easy to assemble due to the deformative nature of the plywood sheets. The research focuses on developing fabrication techniques using laser cutters to cut kerfs into the plywood for deployable components that are structurally stable.

Buckminster Fuller The deployable structure is a way to showcase how such a technique can become a powerful tool to design structurally stable architectural appli- cations, with the knowledge of material’s active bending behavior and fabrication technique a complex interfacing is bedeveloped. The structure is made solely by using 4mm plywood and consists of flat upper and lower surfaces conncted with a curvature folded column in the middle which helps provide structural rigidity, whereas the upper and lower surfaces provide the dynamic derformative behavior. This combined results in a deployable structure lightweight, low-cost, easy in assemblage and easily fabricatable The research is based into active bending of plywood, by taking advantage of the material performance and fabrication techniques a deformative behaviour is achieved into the sheets which helps make the structure dynamic in behavior. The second phase of the research is invested into research over fabrication technique (kerfing) and developing a fabrication technique using laser cutter, in order to achieve a active bending components which are more stable structurally in comparison to the existing methods practised.
