Email: [j](jyin8@ncsu.edu)[yin8@ncsu.edu](jyin8@ncsu.edu)  \nOne Sentence Summary: kirigami-inspired evolutionary materials enable living-matter-like metamorphosis via kinematic bifurcation mechanism  \nAbstract: Kirigami, art of paper cutting, enables two-dimensional sheets transforming into unique shapes which are also hard to reshape once with prescribed cutting patterns. Rare kirigami designs manipulate cuts on three-dimensional objects to compose periodic structures with programmability and/or re-programmability. Here, we propose a new class of three-dimensional modular kirigami by introducing cuts on cuboid-shaped objects, based on which constructing two quasi-threedimensional architected kirigamis with even-flat structural form. We demonstrate the proposed architected kirigamis are with rich mobilities triggered by kinematic bifurcations inherited from their composed modular kirigami, and can undergo living-matter-like metamorphosis evolving into miscellaneous transformable three-dimensional architectures and even a pluripotent platform capable of being re-programmed into curvature different surfaces through inverse design. Such metamorphic structures could find broad applications in reconfigurable metamaterials, transformable robots and architectures.  \nMetamorphosis is a biological evolution process of morphological changes in form and structure during the growth of some living systems such as animals, plants, and micro-organisms. Some organisms undergo incomplete metamorphosis with slight change in form, while others experience complete metamorphosis with abrupt shape transformation during their developmental stages (e.g., from a larva to a butterfly) to adapt to different living environments (1) . Mathematically, the development of complete metamorphosis could be analogously considered as bifurcation that occurs in uniqueness-broken engineering systems, where it is often accompanied by abrupt topological transformation when independent variants reach critical values (2, 3) . For example, Euler-elastica of straight rods bifurcates with deformed morphological branches (4); kinematic mechanisms manifest alternative transition paths accompanied by incremented mobilities at bifurcated thresholds (5, 6) . Similar to the biological metamorphosis, some materials and structures exhibiting different levels of shape changing are proposed by means of folding (7), cutting (8, 9), rigid mechanisms (10), and buckling (11), i.e., they can change their shapes from an initially simple structure in two dimensions (2D) or three dimensions (3D) to sophisticated 3D forms imparted with new properties and functionalities (12) and broadly applied in reconfigurable metamaterials (13), self-reconfigurable robots (14, 15), morphing aerostructures (16) and fourdimensional (4D) printing (17, 18) .  \nKirigami, the ancient art of paper cutting, provides a powerful way to design metamorphic structures (19-20) . Starting from a thin flat sheet with prescribed cutting patterns, it can rigidly reconfigure into multiple 2D/3D target shapes (21-22) . Reversely, inverse design of cutting patterns can be prescribed to fit target topologies with various intrinsic curvatures (9, 23-25) . However, once transformed, most kirigami structures are challenging to further reconfigure or reprogram into other morphologies due to limited internal degree of freedoms (DOF) and  \nprescribed cutting patterns (21, 24-28) . Similar with 2D flat kirigami thin sheet, the already proposed 3D kirigami (29) or analogous structure (30) face same transfiguration issue, [i.e. limited](i.e. limited)[ ](i.e. limited)[structural reconfigurability except for volume expansion. Recent studies demonstrate that space-](structural reconfigurability except for volume expansion.
