Introducing soft (pneumatic) material to space changes the interface of interaction between human and space. Rather than a passive object, the space becomes a living organism that actively acts, reacts and interacts with human occupants. The pneumatic material could be cast and formed into any shape- which also allows flexibility in behaviors.
The images above show the possible pneumatic behaviors of architectural elements. The ground and ceiling could gain the data/ information from human and atmosphere; then react upon them. The parts could be inflated and deflated due to the functional use(seats, table etc ) or emotional use(grief, joy etc) as shown in the image, soft landscape 001. The pneumatic ground becomes an active field with ongoing interaction.
