Alive inflatable structures, inspired by bubbles, allowed rethinking architecture at a new angle. Through the prism of science fiction Hadas Stainer describes “a search for radical valid images of cities”. An emergence of a comic book as a new mode of representation opened a reader a new dynamic travel through “time that unfolded in space”. So, creative thinkers of that time imagined a future habitat with a new possibilities and structures.  From a fantasy were born new modes of shelter such as capsules and pneumatic structures, or “bubbles”. Such inclination towards floating forms is not only a “conquest of gravity” but also an intention to create an alternative architecture of the future for the future.

Inflatables represent a new architectural skin free of constraints. It is extremely flexible and compact structures which are clear representation of contemporary dynamic way of life. As Stainer writes: “Young architects aspired to an architecture as portable as a suitcase, or even a suit”. So, inflatables provide such a freedom of space and movement as soon as they are adaptable, portable, light and compact. We can consider such structures as a second artificial skin in which our body can be enclosed. Mike Webb’s design of Suitaloon is a quintessence of a body extension in an intermediate form between cloths and house. Thus an inflatable home is no longer fixed or rigid structure; it is mobile and transparent ambience that you can reach at any time. It is architecture “to go”.

In the article “A Home is Not a House” Banham writes that “a house is nothing but a hollow shell…in which human being live and work”. He talks about “mobile home” as if it could be disconnected from the fixed urban place in sake of freedom and variability. He states that a portable standard-of-living package could bring a man “nearer to a natural state in spite of his complex culture”.
