The book cites Behnaz Farahi's work, combining computational design algorithms, sensors and multi-material 3D printing to create dynamic wearable structures, as an example of new tools producing new material behaviors.
Within the Technological Component's Tools variable, the book cites Behnaz Farahi's work as an example of computational design in use: 'The work of Professor Behnaz Farahi and the Critical Matter group at MIT exemplifies the innovative use of new tools to create new material behaviors. In projects like "Caress of the Gaze," her team utilizes a sophisticated toolchain—including computational design algorithms, sensor technologies, and multi-material 3D printing—to fabricate dynamic, wearable structures' (Ch15 §152).
