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. | In looking for structures for inflatables as a visual survey; I became very tired quickly.
