# Bubble-Resembling Pavilions Aeropolis by Plastique Fantastique is Futuristic By Alexandra Serrano | Published 2013-08-26 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aeropolis-by-plastique-fantastique References: [dezeen](http://www.dezeen.com/2013/08/26/aeropolis-by-plastique-fantastique/) & [plastique-fantastique.de](http://www.plastique-fantastique.de) Presented at the Metropolis Festival 2013 in collaboration with Københavns Internationale Teater Copenhagen, Aeropolis by Plastique Fantastique provides a dynamic space for activity as it creates versatile event spaces. These temporary bulbous constructions appear almost surreal as they separate the space within using transparency. The [blow-up structures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iwagumi-air-scape) are used as [makeshift venues](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/radius-transformation-pavilion) that boast the ability to be installed virtually anywhere by mere inflation. According to [Dezeen Magazine](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/this-is-air), these pavilions are "made from a fire-proof PVC and when inflated industrial ventilators are used to retain the air pressure required to keep the bubble's shape." Located in 13 places throughout the Metropolis Festival in Copenhagen, the Aeropolis by Plastique Fantastique bubbles have housed installations, dance performances, concerts and other communal activities. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.8/10 - Popularity: 17% | Activity: 30% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Modern](https://www.trendhunter.com/modern) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Temporary Event Structures:** The use of blow-up structures for temporary event spaces provides a flexible and versatile solution for hosting activities and performances. - **Transparent Separation:** The use of transparency to separate spaces within the blow-up structures creates an immersive and visually intriguing environment. - **Inflatable Installations:** The ability to install blow-up structures virtually anywhere by inflation opens up opportunities for unique and unconventional event locations. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Event Management:** Event management companies can explore the use of temporary blow-up structures as innovative event spaces to offer their clients flexibility and creativity. - **Architecture and Design:** Architects and designers can incorporate transparent separation techniques in their designs to create visually stunning and unique spaces. - **Entertainment and Performing Arts:** Entertainment companies and performing arts organizations can utilize inflatable installations to create immersive and interactive experiences for their audiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Artful Garden Inflatable Spheres](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/this-is-air.md) - [Inflatable-Orb Stage Set Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whomadewho.md) - [Colorfully Inflatable Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blowup-art-the-hague.md) - [Inflated Design Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-as-a-main-material.md) - [Inflated Design Classroom Spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/intermittent-dome.md) - [Inflatable Vibrant Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forest-dancer.md) - [Everyday Material Colorful Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colorful-pavilions.md) - [Interactive Architectural Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folding-landscape.md) - [Interactive Public Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/radius-transformation-pavilion.md)
