- | The first thing it does is putting a heavy load on us as conventionaly it focusses on what not to do. It rather paralyzes us, or pushes our guild buttons; we must shrink our presence, our systems, our activities, and even our population. But we are part of nature to! Alexanders | ||

- | A good inflatable design can be so congruent with peoples feelings that it sustains itself- when it gets dirty or worn people take care of it themselves, because the pattern is deeply connected to their own experience. From outside, it seems as though the inflatable maintains itself almost as if by magic. | ||
- | It is the self-sustaining character the living inflatable has, which is the result of making something with real care. | ||
- | Because people enjoy being there, they look after it and even when no one else is there, you can “feel” the presence of life there, because you can sense that people are taking care of it.\\ | ||

- | The character of nature can’t arise without the presence and the consiousness of death. | ||
- | But before they die, make sure you choose materials which decay nicely. Modern modern sculptures or architects often choose material which decay awfull. | ||
- | ===Build to die=== | ||
- | The character of nature is fluid, rough, irregular, but it will not be true, unless it is made in the knowledge that it is going to die. | ||
- | No matter how much the person who makes a building is able to understand the rhythm of regularity, it will mean noting so long as he creates it with the idea that it must be preserved because it is so precious. If you want to preserve a building, you will try to make it in materials which last forever. | ||
- | But to reach the quality without a name, a building must be made, at least in part, of those materials which age and crumble. Soft tile and brick, soft plaster, fading caots of paint, canvas which has been bleached a little and torn by wind. | ||

- | Environmental destruction is a complex system in its own right – widespread , with deeper causes that are difficultt to see and understand. Like our ansestor, we may react automatically with terror and guilt and we may look for ways to purge ourselves ( get rid of the unwanted feeling) which the eco-efficient movement provides in abundance, to focus on what not to do by minimizing, avoiding, reducing, and sacrificing. Humans are condemmed as the one species on the planet guilty of burdening it beyond what it can withstand; as such, we must shrink our presence, our systems, our activities, and even our population so as to become almost invisible. | ||
- | But what about ourselves, we are part of human nature to and if we don’t usse our creativity we’ll die. | ||
- | To be less bad is to accept things as they are, to believe that poorly designed, dishonorable, | ||
- | These kind of guild we are carrying on our shoulders and especially the fear it brings with it are destroying your creativity, and it is especially this creativity you need to come up with intelligent solutions. | ||

+ | * The thirth principle was modularity. One can always ask yourself how does it feel, to have a modular surrounding. Nature is never modular. Nature is full of almost similar units (waves, raindrops, blades of grass-) but though the units of one kind are all alike in their broad structure, no two are ever alike in detail. - the same broad features keep recurring over and over again. - in their detail appearance these broad features are never twice the same. - The quality | ||

+ | - The Visual Collection of -Alive Inflatables- | ||
+ | In looking for structures for inflatables as a visual survey; I became very tired quickly. Maybe because I came across a lot of dead stuff. So I decided to look intuitively for inflatables I just liked. And then after looking at them I found out what the quality of these inflatables was and that was that they were alive in one way or another. In such a way that it are inflatable spaces you want to be emerged with, play with, be involved with. And some of these inflatables are to simple to be true, but have an amazing opening effect on people. After having an inspiring collection, all kinds of different structures unfold by themselves, and it was out of curiousity I was eager to give explanations by all the pictures. | ||

+ | - Up to now I noticed people | ||
+ | |||
+ | - As a follow up from this research I have like do realize two events where I will develop inflatable spaces solely inflated by wind. | ||
+ | |||
+ | - I l like to continue on three parts of the research; the collections of the visual survey, the collection of inflatable materials for the library and the list of interesting inflatable producers, labs, experts etc. | ||
- | But it isn't always that simple; for instance one wants to use [[bioplastic]], | ||
- | But you don’t have to be perfect right now as long there is a direction and all these materials are not all available now, | ||
- | but you can set your goal for 20 years, just define where you wanna go.\\ | ||
