AIRchitecture shelter: A minimal barrier between man and nature with full protection under catastrophic conditions

There has been this interesting journey of the human being from remaining nomadic in ancient times and then as a settled individual toward getting to become a modern-day nomadic once again. Keeping this concept in mind, the AIRchitecture shelter has specially been developed to serve the needs of the modern-day nomad who wishes to build a strong connection with nature, as well as with the concrete world. As people living in the contemporary society have portability and safety concerns, this unique shelter is designed to offer quick assembly and easy transportation to just any place.

 

The design for this shelter aimed at providing an adaptable solution for just any wild environment, be it offering a temporary shelter on a hill or a stable and secure shelter under natural catastrophic conditions. Inspired by the environmental bubble design from Reyner Banham, the AIRchitecture shelter has a plastic surface that can be inflated. Also, a portable air inflator can comfortably be carried in the backpack so the user can have a shelter at just any place. The best of this strong and compact shelter comes to front when there is an emergency situation. It may work as a stable emergency kit when there is some kind of natural disaster and people need to protect themselves under a shed.

The AIRchitecture shelter forms a connection between man and nature with minimal barriers. This lightweight unit offers physical protection under adverse conditions but does not impact the nature. This bubble-shaped shelter has transparent and mirrored surfaces that are joined using a sealed zip fastener. The user may quickly enter this container to get physically isolated from the surrounding. When the surface gets fully enclosed, the user may turn on the air compressor, which would further lead to surface inflation and creation of a spherical shelter.
