4D Printing Materials

"Innovating the ship is already innovating shipwreck; inventing the steam engine, the locomotive, is already inventing rail disaster [...] each period of technical evolution bringing, with its batch of instruments and machines, the appearance of specific accidents, revealing "in negative" the rise of scientific thought". These words from Virilio remind us that in any technological adventure, once a generic concept has been invented, the interdependencies between the influencing parameters can have an effect on the result. For example, figure
