Behind the Scenes at BU: Light & Sound Lab at Booth Theatre
Most people know BU’s Joan & Edgar Booth Theatre [/articles/2017/new-joan-edgar-booth-theatre-opens/], the 75,000-square-foot state-of-the-art theater complex on Comm Ave that opened two years ago, for its soaring lobby and [...]250-seat theater, home to College of Fine Arts School of Theatre productions.
But the building is also houses costume shops, faculty offices, classrooms, and on the third floor, a sprawling Light and Sound lab. Spread over two levels, with catwalks on the upper floor, the lab is in near-constant use. More than two dozen classes, including ones in lighting design, sound design, and media design, use the space throughout the year. The lab also functions as a test facility for lighting design students working on productions to experiment with color and special effects. Designers can see how paint samples for a show’s sets will react to light before a production is loaded into the theater.

We present an inverse design tool for fabric formwork -- a process where flat panels are sewn together to form a fabric container for casting a plaster sculpture. Compared to 3D printing techniques, the benefit of fabric formwork is its properties of low-cost and easy transport. The process of fabric formwork is akin to molding and casting but having a soft boundary. Deformation of the fabric container is governed by force equilibrium between the pressure forces from liquid fill and tension in the stretched fabric. The final result of fabrication depends on the shapes of the flat panels, the fabrication orientation and the placement of external supports. Our computational framework generates optimized flat panels and fabrication orientation with reference to a target shape, and determines effective locations for external supports. We demonstrate the function of this design tool on a variety of models with different shapes and topology. Physical fabrication is also demonstrated to validate our approach.
