Inflatable structures, as explored by Conjuntos Empáticos, function as dynamic agents in public spaces that promote sensory engagement and social interaction. Founded in Spain, Conjuntos Empáticos emphasizes the role of these structures in facilitating collective interventions and leisure moments, effectively bridging the gap between urban and personal spaces. The organization, composed mainly of young architects, focuses on enhancing urban environments through pedagogy, exhibition, and citizen participation, thereby enriching public life and fostering a collaborative community dynamic.
For us, the city can be understood as a fabric sewn together by a series of articulating spaces that should function as urban social activators, materialized at different scales.
Inflatable structures act as organisms that engage passersby through their lightness, materiality, and element of surprise, ensuring sensory experiences in various environments.
These structures can accommodate everything from collective interventions to moments of leisure, encouraging social interaction and creating atmospheres that dissociate the scale of the city from the domestic space.
