Abstract
This work explores aesthetic, material, and experiential qualities of inflatable architecture. We created large-scale inflatable structures—from several stories high, to 15m long, to filling a plaza with an inflatables assemblage—in public space. Working from a first-person approach, we offer somaesthetic, material, and practical reflections and design considerations for architectural inflatables. Our findings detail how such large scale inflatables can alter sensory perception in compelling ways. Our discussion suggests future directions for sensory engagements with architectural inflatables.
