Secret Life of Kites- Bondestam a key Aerotecture Founder

Finnish architect Mårten Bondestam pioneered sky puppet theatre and flew elaborate architectural models as kites.* Martin's ideas always come around again, and again, and again. He preceded me at WKM, and everywhere left a wake of his productions. His rare books were waiting in the archive. A classic modern KiteGod.
