I’m absolutely in love with this concept from Raumlabor in Berlin and brought to the States by the Storeront for Art and Architecture. As a designer/ architect in training/ creative event planner I’m fascinated with temporary gathering space and our continual relationship to the city and environments around us. This concept is just beaming with possibilities.
From the Storefronts site:
Spacebuster is a mobile inflatable structure - a portable, expandable pavilion - that is designed to transform public spaces of all kinds into points for community gathering.
The pavilion is comprised of an inflatable bubble-like dome that emerges from a step van that also houses the compressor that keeps the Spacebuster inflated. The dome expands and organically adjusts to its surroundings, be it in a field, a wooded park, or below a highway overpass. The material is a translucent plastic that allows the events taking place inside of the shelter - screenings, lectures, dinners or discussions - to be entirely visible from the outside. Likewise the exterior environments become the events’ backdrops.
