-==== Discussion==== 
-- As I've  mentioned in the context I have scanned via the inflatables three design principles and I like to come back to them a bit 
- 
-  * //sustainability//   We all now that this is quite complex matter and I wonder if sustainability is really a word that can empower us... The word itself is putting a heavy load on our shoulders. It can paralyze us, or pushes our guild buttons; we must shrink our presence, our systems, our activities ans so on. So it blocks our creativity. But we are part of nature to!  So maybe what empowers us more is for instance to think in bio-life-cycles. And we don’t have to be perfect right now, for instance the biodegradable materials we want are not all available now, but we can set our goals for 20 years from now in which we define where we wanna go. Another thing I like to mention is that something sustains itself, when its made with real care and when its patterns are deeply connected to our own experiences, then we automatically like to look after it. 
- 
-    * The second design principle playfullness, 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 repeats it about 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” occurs. 
  
-    * 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. 
  
-- 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. 
  
-- 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.
