One possible application is the use of macroscopic deformed plates as "domed" architectural elements (figure 10 ). Such shelters and greenhouses can be easily stored and transported in a rolled-up state, before being deployed. But, before using bilayer structures in this sense, a major problem concerning gravity-induced deformations needs to be solved. The elasticity of self-forming films can be seen as their advantage, allowing easy compaction for storage and transport, as mentioned above.
