    The document discusses conceptualizing a dual-purpose building skin that is inspired by biological skin and existing double-skin facade architectures. It draws inspiration from the protective, regulatory, and structural functions of biological skin as well as the double layer and space frame structure of double-skin facades. The conceptualized skin aims to react to stimuli, adapt, and evolve over time through a combination of deployable structures and differentiation of cells, mimicking biological skin.
