Model #2 : "Self Building Skin"

The "Self Building Skin" concept strays away from our proceeding ideas, but is nevertheless the direction we are sticking with. The idea arose from the idea of skin cells and how they replace themselves involuntarily. Below are pictures/videos of the model we built to manifest the idea. A much simpler version of what we had in mind, but still the basic principle of a self-constructing skin (facade).
The idea is to use magnets and manipulate them in a strategic way, in order for them to attach to eachother and form a self supporting system and facade. The goal is to eliminate much of the background structure that is seen in the present model and present a real "self building skin" with minimal structure use.
