-  * 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]]  
  
-  * summary Christopher Alexanders timeless way of building found underneth with the title "There is a timeless way of building" 
- 
-  * a pattern language for inflatable architectural structures 
- 
-  * design considerations for inflatable structures 
- 
-  * a collection of physical materials suited for inflatables for foam's public library 
- 
-  * an inventory of innovative inflatable- manufacturers, research labs, producers and other people working with inflatables both from the    artistic and in the technological field can be found at : [[Inflatable Structures]] still under construction...\\

 A single skin inflatable can become instant hot when the sun shines, or freezing cold when not. A single skin inflatable can become instant hot when the sun shines, or freezing cold when not.
 For temperature regulation one can think of a double skin; where walls of air will have an isolation function and at the same time an acoustics isolation function. In this way the walls can as well become a part of the construction. The climate in these zones can be influenced artificially. For temperature regulation one can think of a double skin; where walls of air will have an isolation function and at the same time an acoustics isolation function.

-Heat- There is always a temperature differential - it will generally be warmer inside an inflatable than outside.  A temperature of 27oC/ 80oF outside could mean that inside may be uncomfortable.  When it is this warm one can use water misters to spray the air. Additional strategies to deal with heat is to place the inflatable near shade if possible or cooling by air-conditioning. Or making use of materials which reflects the sunlight.+Heat- There is always a temperature differential - it will generally be warmer inside an inflatable than outside.  A temperature of 27oC/ 80oF outside could mean that inside may be uncomfortable.  When it is this warm one can use water misters to spray the air.

- **Local manufactors**: Preferable look for local materials in a circle of 100 meter, or 1km around you. What kind of materials can you find in your own area, instead of directly looking for chinese markets where they have the cool stuff…and has to travel from afar.\\ + **Local manufactors**:  
-[[material_library]]'s**: nowadays there are many material libraries like Materio in Enschede; the Design Academy in Eindhoven, Materialsense, Materialconnexion or Materia. Althought you can visit them online a physical visit is worthwhile when it comes down to materials because you simply want to touch them.\\ + 
-**Fairs**: The composite fair in France (for composite sticks), TechnoTextile, every 2 years in Frankfurt, Macropak te Utrecht, [[cradle_to_cradle]] fair in Frankfurt 12-18 november 2008, with only products which are nutrients for the bio or technical cycle.
