Media Files ==== Hardened Bubbles ==== ===== In our desire to capture bubbles we try to harden them. Find a practical application for them in an attempt to make our dreams come true. But then it often turns that they somehow just loose their magic... ===== "When natural processes are one's aim and not their end results, one can no longer speak of an aesthetic evaluation, because all that does is enable one to form an opinion about concrete finished products. 'Beauty' [in a natural process] disappears, making way for completely unanticipated, new 'aesthetic' values. beauty is perishable. Everything is and is always in motion!"

After the initial ground preparation was finished, that concrete thin shell structure was built in 60 minutes. http://www.inhabitat.com/entry_1120.php\\ \\ \\ {{:7.blobjpg.jpg?290}}{{:6.blobjpg.jpg?347}}{{:5.blobjpg.jpg?340}}\\ {{:4blob.jpg?230}}{{:brrr.jpg?340}}{{:2blob.jpg?326}}\\ \\ {{:wallace-neff-bubble-house2.jpg?400}} Architect Wallace Neff became obsessed with what he called airform architecture—domed structures created by inflating a massive balloon, then covering it in a concrete shell. Neff regarded his airforms as his most important work. Commissioned by the War Department in the 1940s, Neff built these structures in Virginia, Arizona, and California—as well as in South America, India, and Africa. Of the airforms built in California, only one still stands, in Pasadena, where Steve Roden lives in it.(lucky guy:)). http://unframed.lacma.org/2009/04/09/steve-roden-on-wallace-neff ---- more inflatable image sections: [[Experience Inflatables]], [[Powered by Wind]], [[Parasite Inflatables]], [[Soap Experiences]], [[When Nature Inflates]], [[Environmental Blendings]], [[Inflatable Spaces]], [[Inflatable Sound]], [[Interactive Inflatables]], [[Inflatable Wearables]], [[The Non Categorized Inflatables]], [[Lighter than Air]], [[NASA Inflatables]], [[Leftover Inflatable Archive]] or go back to; [[Cocky Eek]]Please fill all the letters into the box to prove you're human.
