“…Interaction possibilities with inflatables include punching [27], theatrical data display [40], squeezing a mouse [25], exploring affective qualities of simple movements [37], petting inflatable rabbits [14], bodily compression [15], simulating objects in VR [38], force feedback on the arms in VR [19], or a shoulder "tap" to indicate left or right when giving directions [36]. Fabrication techniques include embroidery with silicone bladders [34], silicone bladders [28], stitching on stretchy fabric to control shape change [39], replay direct manipulation [30], firm 3D printed inflatables [20], rapid prototyping [18], and other shape-changing interfaces [24]. These works are often airtight and at relatively smaller scale.…”

This work explores aesthetic, material, and experiential qualities of inflatable architecture. We created large-scale inflatable structuresfrom several stories high, to 15m long, to filling a plaza with an inflatables assemblage-in public space. Working from a first-person approach, we offer somaesthetic, material, and practical reflections and design considerations for architectural inflatables. Our findings detail how such large scale inflatables can alter sensory perception in compelling ways. Our discussion suggests future directions for sensory engagements with architectural inflatables.
