This project explores how hydrogel mechanics, origami architecture, and environmental responsiveness can be integrated to create metre-scale panels capable of capturing and releasing water from air.</p> <p>By combining material design with structural programming, hydrogel origami offers a strategy for adaptive water-harvesting systems with potential applications in sustainability, climate resilience, and resource-limited environments.</p>
