Within Felicity Scott’s text, Blow-Up, it discusses the concept and idea of pneumatic structures and how they were inspirational and constantly inventing itself. It would be attempted to be utilized in various ways, some would embody a single human being, while some would be big enough to fit a group or a crowd.

In the cluster of bubbles, each bubble adapts to the conditions of the neighborhood. They each automatically adjust each time a new bubble was joined to the collection.
