Skins and Strings 21

Much like plants, people, or animals, the skin of a building is really important for the surface. The skins have a responsibility to protect the contents in structure or making the unique pose or cover. Here, the skin structure of the kite is created with white card papers by bending wings with irregular sizes and following the diagram IN (Open) and OUT (Close) of holes on the skins. It means that there are opened the bending wings with more holes in biomimicry form for inside layers in order to catch the light, wind, and air come in and out. Unlike the inside layer, the outside of the bending wings is closed with fewer small holes in biomimicry form covered surrounding both levels.
