Balloons, blimps and bubbles aren't
just for the sky. In the new book "Inflatable: Art, Architecture &
Design," author Jacobo Krauel showcases a range of air-filled objects
and structures, from furniture to temporary shelters to mobile
performance venues. After noticing a boom in the ephemeral structures,
he decided to document striking examples of inflatables since the first
hot air balloon in 1709. He also includes a section on ideas for the
future, like a moon base for research. Today's structures are relatively
low-cost, and new lightweight, water-resistant materials have added to
their appeal. "It's a really good solution for all kinds of events and
exhibitions," says Mr. Krauel.
