Challenge: Create a kinetic structure with a smart system implemented as well. Our project uses the movement of the ocean to lift canopies on top of the pier. Our smart system also depends on the movement of the ocean by piezoelectric stripes working in tension as the structure pushes and pulls the canopies.
