"""The bubble is officially back in fashion with an effervescent new publication by Phaidon.""—Aesthetica ""Inflatable architecture is back in fashion.""—Dezeen ""Bubbletecture captures the incredible range of inflatable architecture, fashion, art, and design that has been created over the last several decades.""—Colossal ""[A survey] of lively and surreal inflatables in architecture, design, fashion and art... Often ephemeral in nature... and they can be quite tongue-in-cheek, too.""—Artsy ""Fantastic air-filled forms - inflatable technology feels revolutionary.""—The Wall Street Journal ""Phaidon's book comes at a critical moment: one in which the possibilities for inflatables technology are taking us to innovations we once only dreamt of [...], but also one in which the material that propelled such technology into popularity - cheap, mass-produced plastic - is being examined for its destructive environmental impact. More sustainable developments of the material hold better promise, however, such as the rise of ETFE panels - deployed powerfully in Grimshaw Architects' Eden Project (1998)... Whatever the future of 'bubbletecture', it already has a fascinating history and trajectory.""—Blueprint ""Bubbletecture shines a light on how inflatable design has been used in everything from fashion to domesticated goods.""—Hypebeast ""[A] comprehensive dive into inflatable objects from over the past two centuries... Compulsively flippable.""—New York Magazine ""Meet the hypersaturated, candy-colored... Pocket-sized compendium to all things inflatable.""—The Architect's Newspaper ""Bubbletecture is a fun-sized book with a bubblegum-pink cover from Phaidon, shows off 200 inflated projects to catch your eye and lift your spirit - from temporary shelters to airy dresses to park benches... Measuring about 5 by 7 inches, the book is great to toss into your carry-on and read during take-off.""—Aspire: Design and Home Magazine ""Like tiny houses, these images capture the imagination-everyone's wondered how certain bounce houses or statues were built, and this book gives you a glimpse inside. People will be tickled to see how inflatable pieces have been used to make everything from clothes to furniture.""—Forbes Online ""Bubbletecture demonstrates that inflatable design is simply irresistible.""—Architectural West Magazine ""For the design geek.""—Family Circle Magazine"
