Papillon's design was inspired by the combination of Nature, Sound Physics, and Thin Shell Architecture.
Quick mock-ups helped understand the structure, that is why Papillon's design is a thin concrete shell composed of 16 parts.
A 3D printed model was made to show the idea and to experiment if a structure constructed with 16 parts could be achieved in a small scale easily.
