The principle behind the inflatable units is the stiffness created by the increasing of the inside pressure. By pumping more air into the units, the spine that contains the balloon will fold, becoming more stiff and enhancing the rigidity of the unit.

From a geometrical point of view, by increasing the pressure/air, the distance between the ribs of the spine increases and the diameter of the balloon's sections increases.
+
Combining two inflatable units with one spine makes it possible to curve in two directions.

The use of inflatable units assures the system to be very light and to profit of the
+
possibility of using the lowest amount of materials possible. Furthermore the
+
presence of “air-chambers” as gigantic bricks give to the structure good values in
+
terms of (acoustic) insulation.
+
 
+
The different positions of the inflatable’s unit and their different transparencies
+
create a porosity that helps the structure to mimesis with the surroundings and to
+
profit of the natural light.

"SPACEBOOK"

Spacebook: (where) everybody can see the activities on the site, the users can join activities that are or will be taking place, create their new activities and (physically) link them with other activities.
A new activity hive is born.

Interface output

Two options for the interface are possible:


1.) The user becomes an architect for his own individual space. The interface within the website or the cellphone app includes reduced transformation-functions for the structure, which is divided in stripes so that the user can easily understand the transformation-process.


2.) The user sets the position, the volume (amount of people) and the room type (open, covered, open but covered) so that, the system can create a generic space for different activities.
