共創の場において実感覚的学びを促進するテンセグリティ・キットの提案

抄録

It is expected to innovate the educational process in the field of education, where various cause-and-effect relationships are intricately intertwined. We are certain that co-creative concepts and hands-on learning are essential for education that fosters creative and free thinking. In this study, we propose tensegrity kits as a three-dimensional compositional experience that allows learners to create objects together, thereby promoting creativity through interaction. The tensegrity kit, which we propose, enables us to create structures as a spatial design. In addition, the softness of the object allows learners to experience the deformation of the structure with their hands after the object is completed, which is expected to provide hands-on learning. Furthermore, the tensegrity kit allows wide range of people to enjoy creative activities together and it can be a platform for co-creation. Based on the above, we achieved two types of tensegrity kits: spherical and spine shaped. Thanks to the stronger joints, stabilization of the creative process has been achieved, and tensegrity structures that will not be broken even if squashed with the palm of a hand have been realized, furthermore, it is possible to construct a tensegrity structure with free ends.
