1. A variable shape structure comprising:
a first bend member having a first central coupling point, a first one-end coupling point, and a first other-end coupling point that are arranged so as to form a V shape with a fixed bend angle;
a second bend member having a second central coupling point, a second one-end coupling point, and a second other-end coupling point that are arranged so as to form a V shape with a fixed bend angle, the second central coupling point being pivotally coupled to the first central coupling point of the first bend member;
a third bend member having a third central coupling point, a third one-end coupling point, and a third other-end coupling point that are arranged so as to form a V shape with a fixed bend angle, at least one of the third one-end coupling point and the third other-end coupling point being coupled to one of the first one-end coupling point and the first other-end coupling point of the first bend member, and
a fourth bend member having a fourth central coupling point, a fourth one-end coupling point, and a fourth other-end coupling point that are arranged so as to form a V shape with a fixed bend angle, the fourth bend member being adjacent to the first bend member in a Y direction, at least one of the fourth one-end coupling point and the fourth other-end coupling point being coupled to one of the first one-end coupling point and the first other-end coupling point of the first bend member, wherein
the second bend member is adjacent to the first bend member in the Y direction, and wherein the structure forms a panel by coupling together the first, second, third and fourth bend members that are adjacent in an X direction and the Y direction, and wherein
the third bend member is adjacent to the first bend member in the X direction.
