It turns out our skin idea might not of being an idea that was difficult to accomplish or far from reality reach. The Watercube, Beijing's National Aquatics Centre uses a structure that could be sturdy enough to have some floor plates and structures be attached to it. Of course, it would not be by a string. In some of the construction drawings for the wall cavity of the watercube, it shows the thousands of connections that needed to be made to hold up this structure. Those same connections could be made to hold tons of steel and concrete in our skin design.
