Inflatable architecture

Visitors to this year’s OCT Phoenix Flower Festival in Shenzhen, China encountered an unusual inflatable pavilion by Aether Architects. The translucent structure, called “air-mountain,” served dual functions as a protective exhibition space and a surface for people to climb up and over. Inflated hemispheres with a range of dimensions and textures were grouped together via a ribbed topography, and included air holes to allow visitors (and plants) room to breathe.

Or a bag of marshmallows? There are many apt analogies.

Inflatable architecture is back in fashion says Sharon Francis, author of new book Bubbletecture. She picks out five key examples for Dezeen.
