This research intends to test the applicability of auxetic textiles in architecture. Auxetic materials exhibit a negative Poisson ratio; a unique characteristic that allows them to expand in all directions when stretched, opposite of the way typical materials react to the same stimulus. Auxetic behavior in materials is being studied at a range of scales and has proven to hold great potential for various applications that require flexibility and stability under loading.<\/p>

Research Trajectory A is based on the conceit that auxetic behavior harnesses great potential to advance the performance of contemporary tensioned membrane materials. Research Trajectory B intends to investigate the architectural and structural potentials of helical auxetic yarns (HAY) as a component in fiber-reinforced composite materials. This research is proposed with confidence that an interdisciplinary study of HAY-reinforced composites may result in novel, customizable sheet materials that are structurally and environmentally resilient.\u00a0<\/p>
