Pneumatic Structures and Installations

Through a series of concise theoretical presentations, hands-on experiments and the construction of prototypes, this intermediate workshop explores how air and pneumatics can create air-supported, inflated and actuated structures and installations. Whether you are an architect, engineer, designer or artist, if you are looking to develop a deeper understanding of pneumatic structures, this workshop offers skills, knowledge and experiences relatable to your discipline or chosen field.
