The tranSTUDIO is an interdisciplinary design laboratory in the Department of Architecture at Texas A&M University. This studio pursues (1) methods for interrogating digital platforms within the context of innovative transformable building skins that demonstrate real-time morphological changes; (2) an interdisciplinary team approach that encourages students to engage with emerging digital tools for adaptable architecture and design; (3) conversations between computer-controlled tools and the design assumptions based on such tools; (4) the principles, theories, and applications that govern creative thought, from the formation of motion through the creation of a physical environment; (5) clarification of both the fundamental basis for and practical knowledge of transformable systems/strategies in large and small building components; (6) explanations of the capabilities and limitations of transformable architecture; and (7) the inherent properties of smart materials useful in exploring the development of self-regulating building skins.
