Spire

nicked this din i

Ottoman/ Indian architecture is so beautiful and so are these pictures:
John Ruskin writes really nice things about architecture.

These were from http://butdoesitfloat.com/ and before that from the 1966 book Living architecture: Ottoman by Ulya Vogt-Göknil

These were also from http://butdoesitfloat.com/, but originally from the 1970 book Living Architecture: Islamic Indian by Andreas Volwahsen.

Idea Proposals- too ambitious and time consuming to make for real at the moment.

I found a fan pumping out hot air in the courtyard behind Camberwell (marked with a red dot on the map).

This is my proposal for a giant inflatable that is lifted into the sky high above camberwell by the hot air.

 Blow-up Corridor

Designed around the measurements of the South London Gallery. 

Viewers crawl into the 1 metre high blow up structure and emerge in the 6ft dome or the 9ft spires.

In real life the edges wouldn't be so sharp and defined they would be all puffy and round.

Inflatable

Tomas Saraceno I just found has made a hot air balloon out of bin bag material, it is powered by a fan AND he has drawn up instructions so that anyone can make it. This is exactly what I was trying to do with this inflatable room project and the boat project. Similar........

Two pictures from Inflatable Room at the exhibition at the Bussey Building.
