Title:
Kinetic Tessellations: Computational Design of Responsive Acoustic Panels Using Adaptive Geometries

Abstract:
This research explores the computational design and fabrication of kinetic, tessellated acoustic panels that dynamically respond to environmental sound conditions. By leveraging parametric modelling, performance-driven optimisation, and material behaviour simulation, the study investigates how geometric articulation and joint-based responsiveness can be integrated into wall-mounted acoustic systems. Prototypes are developed using digital fabrication techniques and tested for acoustic performance and kinetic range. The outcome is a novel material system that combines aesthetic expressiveness with functional adaptability for architectural applications.
