Condition of Lightness - Inflatable



Fig. 1. Otto Piene, Berlin Star, 1984, seen here on the Opernplatz in Hanover in 2001


As architecture becomes light enough and subject to all the changing conditions of surroundings (Air), it agitates, illuminates or creating sounds and becomes surrounded by the aura of sensory phenomena.

At the moment where all of these effects ancillary to the main body of architecture begins to play and starts to overwhelm its physical qualities, the hierarchy collapses. Architecture vanishes and the effects become architecture itself.

The beauty of inflatable.
