- 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.
