This lecture introduces the concept of elastic deformation in materials, focusing on how to achieve a desired shape in objects subject to their own weight or external forces. The instructor explains the challenges in realizing a design using flexible materials like rubber through techniques such as 3D printing and casting. The lecture also explores the application of deformation concepts in architecture, particularly in addressing structural issues caused by loads on beams and slabs.
