 +  ***Christopher Alexander's pattern language**  Chistopher Alexander has unraveled in 1977 a pattern language to create 'living architecture’. Its a tool for anyone willing to surpass the general problem domains in our contemporary architecture as stated above, which often leaves us with a feeling of being alienated and detachment. This pattern language is based on the actions which takes place in space and time which makes one feel “alive”. I like to  summarize his patterns which can be used by anyone interested in building stuff.

-- 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 out of curiousity I was eager to give explanations by all the pictures. I gave the visual survey the name - Alive Inflatables- for them I searched in books, the internet, my own picture archive, and I asked collegues and experts.+- In looking for structures for inflatables as a visual survey; I became very tired quickly.

 - I wrote two books of Christopher Alexander: The timeless way of building and Pattern language. First I made a long summary and later I summarized it to the size that I tink general people are still willing to read this and they can using it as a tool. - I wrote two books of Christopher Alexander: The timeless way of building and Pattern language.

 - A collection of innovative inflatable experts, labs etc. I have listed them at [[Inflatable Structures]] a page already existing at Foams libarynth. Most of them I came across during making the -Alive Inflatable- visual survey and for the rest I collected them from my own archieve, the most interesed ones I asked to send brochures so to put in Foam Library. - A collection of innovative inflatable experts, labs etc. I have listed them at [[Inflatable Structures]] a page already existing at Foams libarynth.

 +  * visual survey of -Inflatable Inspirations- ,  I came to a collection of 15 sections with interesting qualities. Each section by far don't give a complete overview in its field. But the main criteria for selecting the works is that they are in one way or another inspiring and that they all can lead to new vibrations… Images of Inflatable Inspirations:[[Experience Inflatables]] - [[Powered By Wind]] - [[Parasite Inflatables]] - [[Soap Experiences]] - [[When Nature Inflates]] - [[Environmental Blendings]] - [[Hardened Bubbles]] - [[Inflatable Spaces]] - [[Inflatable Sound]] - [[Interactive Inflatables]] - [[Inflatable Wearables]] - [[The Non Categorized Inflatables]] - [[Lighter Than Air]] - [[Nasa Inflatables]]

     * 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 of places is never twice the same, because it always takes its shape from the particular place in which it occurs. Each part is slightly different, according to its position in the whole. Each branch of a tree has a slightly different shape, according to its position in the tree. Each leaf on the branch is given its detailed form by its position on the branch. So an alternative is to think of differentiating spaces: It is not a process of addition, in which pre-formed parts are combined to create a whole: but a process of unfolding, like the evolution of an embryo, in which the whole precedes in parts, and actually gives birth to them, by splitting (so becoming different in the process of growth or development). Only a process of differentiation, can generate a natural thing; because this kind of process can shape parts individually, according to their position in the whole.     * The thirth principle was modularity.

 - Up to now I noticed people (no matter what their background is) react very strongly on the visual collection of the research, and yes it was  the part I enjoyed doing the most. - Up to now I noticed people (no matter what their background is) react very strongly on the visual collection of the research, and yes it was  the part I enjoyed doing the most.

 - 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. - 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.
