-This inflatable space exists of two compartments divided by a malleable floor. The airpressure in the lowert department is higher then the one above. The floor, which is hold down by sandbags connected to robes, can hold up for about 80 people. An airhostess, suspended from the top of the dome, hovered above the heads of the audience. To exit the space one could make use of the inflatable emurgency slide. photo: Gerjo Reinkingh+This inflatable space exists of two compartments divided by a malleable floor.

 "Kusama's interest in pattern began with hallucinations she experienced as a young girl--visions of nets, dots, and flowers that covered everything she saw. Gripped by the idea of 'obliterating the world,' she began covering surfaces with polka dots. "Kusama's interest in pattern began with hallucinations she experienced as a young girl--visions of nets, dots, and flowers that covered everything she saw.

 "One day I was looking at the red flower patterns of the tablecloth on a table, and when I looked up I saw the same pattern covering the ceiling, the windows and the walls, and finally all over the room, my body and the universe. I felt as if I had begun to self-obliterate, to revolve in the infinity of endless time and the absoluteness of space, and be reduced to nothingness. As I realized it was actually happening and not just in my imagination, I was frightened. I knew I had to run away lest I should be deprived of my life by the spell of the red flowers. I ran desperately up the stairs. The steps below me began to fall apart and I fell down the stairs straining my ankle." "One day I was looking at the red flower patterns of the tablecloth on a table, and when I looked up I saw the same pattern covering the ceiling, the windows and the walls, and finally all over the room, my body and the universe.

 The Education Centre/Packed Lunch Area is intended to accommodate large groups of school children who would be encouraged to learn about topics related to the themes of the Science Centre. It also serves an as area where they can eat and drink.The structures built for Magna are twin-walled, that is, the walls are made up of two layers of fabric with an air gap in between. It is the air between the two layers that is pressurised to provide rigidity for the structure. This means that conventional doors can be used to enter and exit the buildings as the air inside the building no longer requires pressurisation. In addition, the volume of air inside the walls is very small compared with the size of the building and so very little power is required to keep that air pressurised.\\ The Education Centre/Packed Lunch Area is intended to accommodate large groups of school children who would be encouraged to learn about topics related to the themes of the Science Centre.

 Alexis Rochas: The AEROMADS project outlines an architectural system that combines air pressure and high-strength intelligent fabrics as a tectonic solution for the creation of minimal mass, self-sustaining structures. Unplugged and detached from source networks, AEROMADS is a discreet architectural unit that utilizes air pressure as a tectonic resource and building material, and sets out to explore the nomadic applications of groundless architectonics. Alexis Rochas: The AEROMADS project outlines an architectural system that combines air pressure and high-strength intelligent fabrics as a tectonic solution for the creation of minimal mass, self-sustaining structures.
