The Diodon Project, a responsive and inflatable structure, is at the crossroad of historical architectural utopias questioning notions of interactivity. Indeed, it meets both Archigram futurist vision of an ephemer-al, prefabricated and evolving architecture, as well as the one of technological and hyper-connected con-structions. In that sense, it embraces the reflection of our contemporary society. Its dynamic and geomet-ric inflatable system recalls the metaphor of the architectural machine. It refers not only to the industriali-zation process dreamed by the moderns, but also to an organic organism, breathing at the pace of future experimentation.
This flagship project, through the design and realization of a 50sqm demonstrator pavilion, developed an innovative constructive system taking advantage of both the characteristics of inflatable structures, and the propriety of auxtetic material (the dilation of the material in one direction implies its dilation in its normal direction). It It has been supported and realized within the framework of the architectural incubator launched by the City of Paris (Pavillon de l’Arsenal) in April 2017.
Reproducing/adopting auxtetic behavior through the implementation of a folding pattern, the membrane becomes locally extensible, and the shape of the inflatable globally adaptable. The auxetic system pro-poses an alternative to inflatable structures understood as a collection of quasi-non-elastic planar surfac-es issuing unique tridimensional surface. The inflatable becomes a form-changing inflatable structure that can shrink, expand and multiply.
The adaptations/modification of the structure can be controlled through digital interfaces. They can either be programmed or respond to user-intervention, sensors... Space modifications in real time allows to con-sider future playful and pedagogic workshops that will invite the user to experiment notions like space-appropriation. This form-changing-structure indeed questions and extrapolates user’s ability to modify its environment.
