 "When natural processes are one's aim and not their end results, one can no longer speak of an aesthetic evaluation, because all that does is enable one to form an opinion about concrete finished products. 'Beauty' [in a natural process] disappears, making way for completely unanticipated, new 'aesthetic' values. beauty is perishable. Everything is and is always in motion!"

-Concrete Canvas: 2006 Pete Brewin and William Crawford, have created Concrete Canvas, a "building in a bag" -- a sack of cement-impregnated fabric. To erect the structure, all you have to do is add water to the bag and inflate it with air. A few hours later the half cylinder-shaped shelter is dried out and ready for use. +more inflatable image sections: [[Experience Inflatables]], [[Powered by Wind]], [[Parasite Inflatables]], [[Soap Experiences]], [[When Nature Inflates]], [[Environmental Blendings]], [[Inflatable Spaces]], [[Inflatable Sound]], [[Interactive Inflatables]], [[Inflatable Wearables]], [[The Non Categorized Inflatables]], [[Lighter than Air]], [[NASA Inflatables]]

-The structure is almost as easy to transport as a tent, but provide better protection and is as durable and secure as a portable building, while being easier to transport. +
- +
-unlike current solutions (soft-skinned tents), which offer inadequate protection, or are expensive and difficult to transport, concrete canvas is a rapidly deployable hardened shelter that requires only water and air for construction. it can be deployed by a person without any training in under 40 minutes and is ready to use within 2 hours. plus, with a design life of over 10 years, (tents only survive for 2 years)  the dry weight is 230kg, an 8 man lift, and light enough to be transported on a pick-up truck or light aircraft. +
