The present disclosure relates to a spatio-temporal stimulus responsive foldable structure. The structure may have a substrate having at least a region formed to provide engineered weakness to help facilitate bending or folding of the substrate about the region of engineered weakness. The substrate is formed to have a first shape. A stimulus responsive polymer (SRP) flexure is disposed at the region of engineered weakness. The SRP flexure is responsive to a predetermined stimulus actuation signal to bend or fold in response to exposure to the stimulus actuation signal, to cause the substrate to assume a second shape different from the first shape.
