Can we design single membrane environments that provide protection as well as exposure at the same time? Connection and isolation? Support and disruption?

​

Experimentations with air-tight, expandable materials for the construction of temporary sleeping units. Imagining flexible environments that exist in symbiosis with permanent sites, this project looks for non-invasive, temporary disruptions and adaptations of our private spaces. The inflatable window frames can be freely attached anywhere on the flexible unit membrane, increasing the user's control over light transmission in the space. Using a manual inflation/deflation mechanism, the user can flexibly adjust the translucency of the membrane, hence the light in the space.
