This document provides an overview of concepts for an interactive architecture studio project focused on deployable structures. It discusses biomimicry, solar sails, and examples of deployable structures like the Qizhong Tennis Center and designs by Guest & Pellegrino. Prototypes are mentioned and images shown to illustrate deployable designs, materials like Hylite, and references.
