-From here I have tried to make a specific pattern language for -inflatable architectural structures- I based it on the Architects of Air’s (UK) inflatable -Luminarium-. The Architects of Air are specicialized in making inflatable libarinths, every year deepening their patterns, and in general people see their spaces as a real experience. I assisted 3 days in their Luminarium standing in Heemstede, a small village in Holland and it was only open for mental handicaped people. So exploring their inflatable space inside out on the field I tried to come to -an inflatable pattern language- for inflatable architectural structures.in such a way that everybody can use these patterns as a guideline to create one’s own ‘living inflatables’ | -From here I have tried to make a specific pattern language for -inflatable architectural structures- I based it on the Architects of Air’s (UK) inflatable -Luminarium-.

- | - : I came across some problematic patterns in the Architects of Airs’s Luminarium which I recognized in creating inflatables myself, and some my colleagues, and at the inflatable experts I have interviewd. So I thought it's worthwhile to underline the most common obstacles one comes across in inflatable structures anyhow. When we are able to surpass these obstacles, these structures will be more stable and alive. It considers issues like; dominant odors, choosing the right materials, energy sources, climate control etc. In this part no solutions will be given to any design problem, but some suggestions will be given so now and then…I called it -Design considerations for inflatable structures- | + | - I came across some problematic patterns in the Architects of Airs’s Luminarium which I recognized in creating inflatables myself, and some my colleagues, and at the inflatable experts I have interviewd.
