Inflatophilia | Parametric Design

Concept for an inflatable pavilion for concerts based on a parametric system where the amount of air inflated defines different positions of the same component.
 
A single mesh of flexible components allows the positioning of two layers of inflatable’s units, creating a system able to curve in four different directions. The mash uses two different components, that properly oriented allow different curves.
 
The use of inflatable units assures the system to be very light to trasport and to use the lowest amount possible of materials.
