Abstract: Scissor structures, widely used in kinetic architecture, have been researched for over six decades. However, most studies focus on the deployability of the scissor structures, often disregarding the potential transformability ...

Abstract: Consisting of linear elements, reciprocal frame structures are three-dimensional (3D) self-supported structures that can be rapidly assembled. This feature renders them suitable for both temporary and permanent uses. ...

Abstract: Due to their expansion capabilities and the simplicity of their design, scissor linkages have been used in both architecture and engineering for various applications, such as expandable roofs and shelters, movable bridges, ...
