4S SustainableSolarShadingSkin

The 4S system is a skin for the skeleton of existing structures. It is composed of out of interwoven prefabricated tensile strands based on identical geometric units. Two complimentary and simultaneous weaving/tensile systems create the final skin and prescribe the configuration.
The profile dimension varies in depth of the compression struts and the façade dimension varies in density and size. Tension is exerted on the framework of strong fibers (steel wires) to create the strength and form of the skin. The textiles are fabricated with the steel wire already incorporated.
