  Fua\n\nAbstract\nApplications of transformable shape structures have\nrap
 idly grown with advances in metamaterial design and digital\nfabrication t
 echniques. To develop novel shape morphing\nstructures and compute algorit
 hms for inverse design\, we need\nto leverage techniques involving differe
 ntial geometry\, physical\nsimulation\, topology and numerical optimizatio
 n\nThis proposal discusses three background papers related to\nthis challe
 nge. The first paper proposes a mesh parametrization\napproach that provid
 es control over the local shape deformation.\nThe second paper analyzes an
  interesting mesostructure that can\npotentially build transformable struc
 tures. The third paper builds\nan extensive computational framework for in
 flatable surface\nstructures.\n\nBackground papers\n\n	A local/global appr
