After an introductory review of the physics of lipid-bilayer selfassembly, we discuss the origins of the area-difference elasticity model, a Landau-like theory which describes the mesoscale shape mechanics of bilayer sheets and vesicles. We introduce the notion of a phase diagram for mechanically st
