Deployable gridshells are a class of planar-to-spatial structures that achievea 3D curved geometry by inducing bending on a flat grid of elastic beams. However, theslender nature of these beams often conflicts with the structure’s load-bearing capacity.To address this issue, multiple layers are typically stacked to enhance out-of-planestiffness and prevent stability issues. The primary challenge then lies in deploying suchmulti-layered systems globally, as it requires significant shaping forces …
