For this project, we developed a responsive surface based on the behaviors exhibited by the oxalis plant that we had studied earlier: the ability to change shape in response to light levels; clustering to reduce the number of actuators; and the repetition of a single auxetic form that could expand or contract to minimize or maximize exposure to light.
