Creative Incubator Profile
Bioskin

BioSkin: a green building siding inspired by tree bark.  BioSkin is a type of siding for buildings consisting of a system that creates shaded areas on a building's surface just like tree bark does on its own exterior.  By acting like heatsinks the siding blocks excess heat from collecting on the outside of a building.  The bark creates a rough surface that allows for many shaded areas to occur.  This enables the convection of air to start to move heat away from the tree.  BioSkin siding mimics this fun
