PneuDome - Inflatable Architecture PneuDome - Inflatable Architecture PneuDome - Inflatable Architecture

This master’s thesis explores the design and construction of an inflatable multifunctional hall made from polymer and composite materials. The aim was to create a comprehensive and flexible solution that integrates structure and design with electricity generation, air handling, self-sufficiency, and a system for water collection and filtration. The project offers an innovative perspective on the potential of pneumatic architecture and lays the groundwork for its further development.

At the SHIFT exhibition, Pneudome represents a transformation of architecture towards temporary, adaptable, and self-sufficient structures. It demonstrates how design can respond to current social and environmental challenges and how inflatable buildings can expand the boundaries of sustainable and flexible living, sport, or culture.

At the same time, the project raises questions about how our understanding of architecture will evolve in an era of climate change and rapid societal shifts. Pneudome suggests a possible future in which buildings are no longer conceived as permanent monuments but as living, mutable organisms capable of adapting to changing conditions.
