A chrysalis-like structure

The next Serpentine Gallery Pavilion, designed by SelgasCano, is going to open on June 25th.
The first render shows an organic double volume: a double-layered shell, made of opaque and translucent fluorine-based plastic (ETFE) in a variety of colours, with strips of material woven through or wrapped around parts of the structure like webbing (see here).
If we break up the structure, we find a series of gates of different section all connected by the covering in panels or stripes. Could a system like this be worth to study and develop for our building box ?
