 - I came across some problematic patterns in the Architects of Airs’s Luminarium which I recognized in creating inflatables myself, and other inflatable experts I have interviewed. So underlined the most common obstacles one comes across in inflatable structures. 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 other inflatable experts I have interviewed.

 -  I have listed the innovative inflatable experts, labs etc. at [[Inflatable Structures]] a page already existing at Foams libarynth. Most of them I came across during making the -Alive Inflatable- visual survey and for the rest I collected them from my own archive, the most interested ones I asked to send brochures for Foam's Library. -  I have listed the innovative inflatable experts, labs etc. at [[Inflatable Structures]] a page already existing at Foams libarynth.

 +  *[[pneumatology]]: Lightness as a state of being. Some problem domains in our contemporary architecture. A summary of  Christopher Alexander’s -Pattern Language-. [[Pattern_language]] can be a tool to create a timeless way of building.
 +
 +  *[[An Inflatable Pattern Language]]: A despription of the patterns based on the structures of `The Architects on Air (UK), which can be useful for anyone interested in building ‘living inflatable structures’.
 +
 +  *[[Design Considerations For Inflatable Structures]]:  After Coming across the problematic patterns of the architects of Airs’s Luminarium. I thought its worthwhile to acknowledge the most common obstacles one comes across in inflatable structures anyhow. No solutions will be given to any design problem, but some suggestions will be given so now and then… When we are able to surpass these obstacles, these structures will be more stable and alive.

 +  * [[Inflatable Inspirations]]: 15 sections of visual -Inflatable Inspirations-. Each section by far don't give a complete overview in its field but I hope all works are, in one way or another, inspiring and can lead to new vibrations...

 +  *[[Inflatable structures]]: An inventory of links for innovative //inflatable//- manufacturers, research labs, producers and other people working with inflatables both from the artistic and in the technological field, and links with innovative //inflatable// architecture, objects,  & robots\\
