TECHNICAL IMPLEMENTATION

The architectural fabrication consists of 4 major aspects:

Inflatable Structures:

- application of bike tube materials to increase the strength of inflatables

- application of valve for better performance of maintain air pressure

- application of outer skin for protection of inflatables

- application of composite materials as inflatables frame

Air Pump System:

- Application of PVC tube for even distribution of air pressure

- Application of electrical pumping system

- Application of compressor to accurate air pressure supply

Pulley System:

- Application of pulley for flexible changing of stings profile

- Application of pulley motor support the pulley system

Control System:

Path system concept

The path system manages the path infrastructure on the site. It creates short-cuts through the site to the other surroundings and allows access to the activities in the site. The system has the following functionality:

- check if new activity is connected to a path

- if not then create a new path on the right patch of new activity

- if two activities are linking then merge activities and move path to the right of the rightmost activity

Arch concept

The arch shape is determined by a relation between the length of the space and the preferred height.
