INFLATOCOOKBOOK, Ant Farm, 1971

for practical advice on building temporary inflatable structures coupled with philosophical and conceptual statements on experimental architecture. bring this back.

this san francisco-based collective, described once as "an architecture group that was more like a rock band," formed in 1968 and famously championed nomadic plastic architecture: space age inflatables made from as little as polyethylene, tape, and household fans.

includes photographs of completed works, psychedelic illustrations of imagined projects (including the "World's Largest Snake"); and advertisements for DIY structures–from a $75 inflatable classroom to a 100'x100' vinyl pillow starting at $2,000.
