 The Corpocinema was an expanded cinema environment presented in a series of open-air performances in Rotterdam and Amsterdam in 1967. The work dematerialised the opaque flat projection surface of traditional cinema by creating instead a transparent three-dimensional volume within which the cinematic image could be reconstituted in an equivocal and immediate way. The specific physical and temporal qualities of the various actions and events performed to materialise the projected images also caused dramatic transformations and re-constructions of those images. The Corpocinema was an expanded cinema environment presented in a series of open-air performances in Rotterdam and Amsterdam in 1967.

The specific physical and temporal qualities of the various actions and events performed to materialise the projected images also caused dramatic transformations and re-constructions of those images.
 The basic structure was a large air-inflated transparent PVC dome onto which film and slides were projected from the outside. These projections were made visible by physical events and performed actions that created temporary conditionsthat materialised the projected imagery within and on the surface of the dome. For example, white polythene tubing was inflated until it filled the interior of the dome, thus creating a complex, growing surface on which the image appeared - then the dome was deflated over this tubing. Fire-extinguishing foam was sprayed over the entire inner surface of the dome, building up an opaque white projection surface - and as the foam dripped off the dome, the projected image disintegrated. Various other substances such as smoke, steam, water spray and confetti were used to fill the interior space of the dome and so constitute a volume of particles on which the projected images were attenuated.\\ The basic structure was a large air-inflated transparent PVC dome onto which film and slides were projected from the outside.

 "One day I was looking at the red flower patterns of the tablecloth on a table, and when I looked up I saw the same pattern covering the ceiling, the windows and the walls, and finally all over the room, my body and the universe. I felt as if I had begun to self-obliterate, to revolve in the infinity of endless time and the absoluteness of space, and be reduced to nothingness. As I realized it was actually happening and not just in my imagination, I was frightened. I knew I had to run away lest I should be deprived of my life by the spell of the red flowers. I ran desperately up the stairs. The steps below me began to fall apart and I fell down the stairs straining my ankle." "One day I was looking at the red flower patterns of the tablecloth on a table, and when I looked up I saw the same pattern covering the ceiling, the windows and the walls, and finally all over the room, my body and the universe.

-The Education Centre/Packed Lunch Area is intended to accommodate large groups of school children who would be encouraged to learn about topics related to the themes of the Science Centre. It also serves an as area where they can eat and drink.The structures built for Magna are twin-walled, that is, the walls are made up of two layers of fabric with an air gap in between. It is the air between the two layers that is pressurised to provide rigidity for the structure. This means that conventional doors can be used to enter and exit the buildings as the air inside the building no longer requires pressurisation. In addition, the volume of air inside the walls is very small compared with the size of the building and so very little power is required to keep that air pressurised.\\

-Alexis Rochas: The AEROMADS project outlines an architectural system that combines air pressure and high-strength intelligent fabrics as a tectonic solution for the creation of minimal mass, self-sustaining structures. Unplugged and detached from source networks, AEROMADS is a discreet architectural unit that utilizes air pressure as a tectonic resource and building material, and sets out to explore the nomadic applications of groundless architectonics. +
-The exterior is sheathed in nylon rib-coated with aluminized Mylar to reflect light and provide thermal insulation. For energy needs, the Aeromads has embedded photovoltaic, flexible batteries and solar water heating.\\ +

 Passing into a darkened entrance hall, you are ushered, not to say bundled, through a doorway into an immense, red womb-like space, lit through its membrane-like surface which looks soft, almost velvet-like, but is rubbery and barely yields to the touch. Gaping orifices open out into three more pod-like spaces. Far from standing in the exhibition hall looking at an object, you’re in the object itself, with no sense of the surrounding environment – until the sun comes out projecting the web-like patterns of the Grand Palais’s roof over the rounded surfaces.  Passing into a darkened entrance hall, you are ushered, not to say bundled, through a doorway into an immense, red womb-like space, lit through its membrane-like surface which looks soft, almost velvet-like, but is rubbery and barely yields to the touch.

Far from standing in the exhibition hall looking at an object, you’re in the object itself, with no sense of the surrounding environment – until the sun comes out projecting the web-like patterns of the Grand Palais’s roof over the rounded surfaces. 
-Moving through the arches formed by the immense rounded rubber feet you feel truly tiny, the people on the far side of the hall appearing positively antlike. Yet far from feeling oppressive, this immense mass glows where the light hits it, reflecting the leaping arches overhead. Whichever way you look or move you’re hit by some extraordinary new vista. The juxtaposition of the two structures is exhilarating in its sheer unlikeliness: the Grand Palais, epitome of the self-consciously man-made, and Kapoor’s rubber mass, which for all its organic, bodily qualities is no less synthetic.+Moving through the arches formed by the immense rounded rubber feet you feel truly tiny, the people on the far side of the hall appearing positively antlike.

 While Kapoor has stated that the work’s title. ‘Leviathan’, the piece is a play of structure and scale that alludes to the idea of the cathedral: the body as living, breathing sacred space, inside a structure that is literally cathedral-like.\\ While Kapoor has stated that the work’s title. ‘Leviathan’, the piece is a play of structure and scale that alludes to the idea of the cathedral: the body as living, breathing sacred space, inside a structure that is literally cathedral-like.\\
