We are experts in Air Architecture. We have researched and developed different air architectural solutions since 2005 when we patented an evacuation system for high-rise buildings that consists of a façade that transforms itself into an array of lighter than air airships that transport occupants of skyscrapers to safe spots of the city in case of an emergency. In 2009 we developed a design of a one-hectare floating covering structure for Plaza of María Pita in La Coruña that adapted its position depending on the weather conditions, we presented the project to the City Major of La Coruña and he loved it! Unfortunately the project did not overcome conceptual design due to the financial restrictions of the city. Nevertheless, it was the base for a further research we undertook at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (M.I.T.) where feasibility was tested and design was developed. In 2015, we led a unit at the Architectural Association (A.A.) in London, called Float. We work and research with air as a structural material for the creation of contemporary architecture. In 2016 we built our first pneumatic structure in London, Second Dome, a reconfigurable and transportable structure that activated different parts of the city. Subsequently, we have built pneumatic structures in different countries, highlighting Diodon in Denmark or Pipiline in Paris in 2020, which achieved the 2021 Innovative Architecture Best of Best Iconic Awards and was included in Aerodream exhibition curated by the Pompidou in Paris. We know how inflatables work and we want to show you their possibilities!
