Gravity Screens are elastomer constructions that can change their form in response to environmental sensing. They instrumentalize the force of gravity across their elastic weaves to alter their shape and permeability. When this is tied to real time sensing of environmental data, the screens become an adaptable architecture capable of exploring different spatial configurations and environmental effects. 

Gravity Screens is part of a research project exploring computationally inspired and augmented materials for responsive architecture.
