Green construction and eco-architecture is where the future lies for any budding architect, who is busy drawing up those rough sketches. Modern building techniques along with the use of revolutionary new materials has meant that today we can give shape to structures that are both planet-friendly and maximize on available space and resources. Created by Mass Studies, Air Forest is a giant inflatable pavilion that fills you with awe, as it springs to life using nothing beyond the power of the wind.
Made from nylon and sporting 9 hexagonal canopy units held together by anchors and other lighting equipment in each of its 35 column, Air Forest is like a strong and study giant inflatable that provides you with instant shade. The structure draws from wind currents to gain its mammoth size and once you are done with it, you can just deflate it, pack it up and move to another venue.
Perfect for temporary shelter arrangements, for quick disaster relief, small rock concerts and general gatherings, the Air Forest is a dazzling eco-solution to the problem of space.
