    ***Design considerations for inflatable structures**
 After Coming across some problematic patterns in creating inflatables myself, and the inflatable structures of the architects of Airs’s Luminarium and some more colleagues,  I thought its worthwhile to acknowledge the most common obstacles one comes across in inflatable structures anyhow. When we are able to surpass these obstacles, these structures will be more stable and alive. It considers issues like; dominant odors, choosing the right materials, energy sources, climate control etc. In this part no solutions will be given to any design problem, but some suggestions will be given so now and then…\\

   * People inside became very sleepy after a while; it´s a passive space aswell the ongoing ambient music makes you murf and maybe it was as well the dose or flow of oxygen which slows you down.\\

-The first thing it does is putting a heavy load on us. It rather paralyzes us.
+The word itself is putting a heavy load on our shoulders, and conventionaly it focusses on what not to do. It can paralyze us, or pushes our guild buttons; we must shrink our presence, our systems, our activities. So it stops our creativity. But we are part of nature to! Something sustains itself, when its made with real care and when its patterns are deeply connected to ones own experiences then we like to look after it. Sustainability also recalls the idea of preserving, but one has to keep in perspective that all stuff is build to die. So maybe what empowers us more is to think in biolife cycles. And we don’t have to be perfect right now and all these biodegradable materials are not all available now, but as long there is a direction and you can set your goal for 20 years,
--The second design principle palyfullness, which reminds me most of a documentary  I've seen about otters; in one scene; an otter is swimming in a river, and that day a thick layer of snow was fallen. One moment the otter is passing a hilly bank covered with snow. he goes out of the water and ran up the hill, and slides down into the water, he repeates it 5 more times and then continues swimming in the river. There was no purpose for the otter for gliding down this hill, no other then that he enjoyed doing do. Maybe I selected the pictures for the Inflatable Inspirations with this quality of playfullness in the back of my mind. Its there where rigidity stops and "flow" accurs.
