 - I read several books which could give  possible guidelines on how to create syneasthetical spaces on an architectural scale . from the most relevant I made a summary on line (Timeless way of Building, Cradele to Cradle and The Eyes of the Skin) see [[Research Inflatable Literature]] . Chistopher Alexander has unraveled in 1977 a pattern language to create 'living architecture’. Its a tool for anyone willing to surpass the general problem domains in our contemporary architecture as stated above, which often leaves us with a feeling of being alienated and detachment. This pattern language is based on the actions which takes place in space and time which makes one feel “alive”. I have summarized his patterns which can be used by anyone interested in building stuff. - I read several books which could give  possible guidelines on how to create syneasthetical spaces on an architectural scale . from the most relevant I made a summary on line (Timeless way of Building, Cradele to Cradle and The Eyes of the Skin) see [[Research Inflatable Literature]] .

 - 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.
