| With the rapid development of science and technology, construction mode of architecture has undergone tremendous changes, the skin to get rid of the shackles of the load to get free expression,the new building materials continue to emerge, it is to provide a greater variety of choices. The importance of skin have become increasingly prominent, tendency of architectural epidermis increasing fast.Now,the popularity of the network, the speed of information dissemination and information to grow exponentially, given the rapid changes in people’s perceptions, aesthetic concepts of the past has been a great impact, artistic rapid civilians tend to architectural design brings changes. It has discussed in the past many modern works.Nowadays, there were many architectural works, almost subverts the past people for building general awareness building is no longer a hard or angular, and may also be soft, rounded. In particular, some use of flexible material, giving the building a strong plasticity and visual impact, this is the entry point of the article, through some of the individual characteristics of flexible materials research, combined with the use of flexible materials designed case analysis, and through practice, to explore the idea of a flexible material in some applications of contemporary architectural surface design.The emergence and development of any genre or thoughts are inseparable from the thrust of the times, at first,this paper do an analysis of the background of the rise of flexible architectural skin, on this basis, the flexible material divided into three categories to be discussed, namely natural materials, finishing materials, new synthetic materials, and by the natural characteristics,aesthetic characteristics of the material, the performance characteristics of the building to be to discuss,to create a basic understanding and again by the impact of material selection factor, the corresponding form of support, performance analysis techniques to classify and explore its application strategy in practice.In the final of the paper, we will examine the research results by a design case, hoping to get a more intuitive feel and feedback, and the application of flexible materials to make a summary and outlook. |
