Shape Memory Materials in Architectural Applications

One of CRG's newest ventures is the development of our advanced materials and design for architecture and infrastructure applications. CRG has been investing heavily in these areas in the past few months with internal funds to better understand the needs of these communities. Because CRG specializes in developing disruptive technologies for existing and emerging markets, materials solutions for architecture and infrastructure concepts is an exciting area of research and development.

A few specific concepts that CRG is currently investigating are the use of our shape memory materials for deployable housing structures and morphing furniture. We hope to promote the concept of sustainable design with these materials. (7-1-2004)
