- 'Inflatable Inspirations' is a detailed survey of interesting infatable projects. It consists of a visual survey, a survey of innovative inflatable experts and materials and theory about what makes an inflatable alive (on body and architectural scale) 
  
-This survey has been conducted in books, online and other sources, partly resting on previous experience with and interest in inflated projects. This survey can be interesting to all those working or willing to work with inflatable constructions, media, food or other inflated things. 
  
-There are some books and magazines about inflated projects but these mostly limit themselves to a survey of inflatable architecture or inflated art-objects and design. My survey will include many different inflated things which have an inflated nature such as: 
  
-    * 
-      nature 
-    * 
-      architecture 
-    * 
-      design 
-    * 
-      art 
-    * 
-      food 
-    * 
-      fashion 
-    * 
-      technology and science 
-    * 
-      Tensile Inflatables 
- 
-there are a few material libraries in europe, but none have a section focused for inflatables

 And in wondering if we can construct our worlds from the lightest quality surrounding us everywhere: –air- inflatable architecture comes the closests. Its thin flexible membrane, acts as a space-defining skin is able to give shape of –air- itself allowing it to be a breathing unity with its own integrity. Its close related to its surrounding its specifically bodily and tactile by nature and its portable, mobile, and playful.   And in wondering if we can construct our worlds from the lightest quality surrounding us everywhere: –air- inflatable architecture comes the closests.

 //We imagine that one has to be an expert to create these objects, with a few marks of the pencil, worked out laboriously at the computer. But to respect the individual who is not an expert precisely for his lack of expertise. Often people in this state of being are in a position to give free rein to change. //We imagine that one has to be an expert to create these objects, with a few marks of the pencil, worked out laboriously at the computer.

-The danger is that experts can’t do that anymore, because he’s already learned how things ought to be done, unless he gives up his own ideas and opinions. Everything that is inept, wayward, intuitive, instinctive and emotional, and emerges from ourselves- that is the expertise of the non-expert. Only a great army of ‘non’ specialists’ can give us a proper revolution. Once the individual can go his own way, free of rules and regulations, diversity occurs, because new solutions are constantly being found.//+The danger is that experts can’t do that anymore, because he’s already learned how things ought to be done, unless he gives up his own ideas and opinions.
