CHuck Hoberman - Take 2 - Adaption

Nowhere do the disciplines of art, architecture, and engineering fuse as seamlessly as in the work of inventor Chuck Hoberman, internationally known for his “transformable structures.” Through his products, patents, and structures, Hoberman demonstrates how objects can be foldable, retractable, or shape-shifting. Such capabilities lead to functional benefits: portability, instantaneous opening, and intelligent responsiveness to the built environment.

His most recogniseable and famous invention would be this .....

Hoberman’s work has been exhibited several times at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. In 2008 his commissioned installation Emergent Surface was part of the exhibit “Design and the Elastic Mind.”

 On a smaller scale, Hoberman has used his folding systems to create, for example, a collapsible tent made from a single sheet of fabric and a briefcase that collapses, accordian-like, to the size of a shoebox, as well as a number of toys.
