No matter; it's a well-wrought piece of sculpture, and the tower and the three-level main wing form a strong composition, a modern version of a cathedral and its campanile.
The characteristic vein pattern evolved, with the long, veinless discal cell in each wing, as well as an emphasis on the strength of the forewing and a de-emphasis of the hind wing, forming a particular pattern of aerodynamic efficiency.
Perforated concrete slabs splay out from its rounded main wing, forming a giant V (former neighbors, Lee Radziwill and Herbert Ross, sued in vain to have the village revoke the building permit for one wall, which blocked their view).
The actinofibrils themselves consisted of three distinct layers in the wing, forming a crisscross pattern when superimposed on one another.
Ahead of the spar, the thick-skinned leading edge of the wing formed a strong and rigid D-shaped box, which took most of the wing loads.
This façade with its single-storey flanking wings forms a three-sided courtyard containing the "Hanging Garden"—so called because like the Hanging Gardens of Babylon it is on a raised terrace (see key 5).
Like a very grand ballgown, or a bridal dress with a train, the wings form a kind of exclusion zone, making it physically difficult to get close.
For a sleeveless dress that was draped easily at one side, she used a cotton print of birds, their wings forming a kind of abstract lattice.
To survive in its arid environment, the Namib Desert beetle has developed a pattern of water-attracting and water-repelling molecules on its hardened wings, forming a series of peaks and troughs.
Within hours, the wings form a cuticle so hard and well-joined to the body that pupae can be picked up and handled without damage to the wings.
