An Inflatable House Like Myself / UF #3

Urban Field 3

An house “like myself”  in the shape of an inflatable donut. This installation is the result of a workshop with the students of Urban Exhibition Design Class ‘08 (First School of Architecture in Rome)

Here the link to the project on Exhibition Design Lab and on Urban Fields where you can find a lot of picts!

Exploring a nomadic minimum space of existence (or a space of minimum existence ?) we decide to build up a 1:1 prototype: 25 people working 16 hours cutting and tapering almost 1.000 sqm of polyethilene sheets.
