The structure of my aquatic center comes from waterbed technology. Waterbeds are made from chambers to keep their rigid shape. Also, if one chamber is broken the other chambers are not compromised. These chambers can be filled with pressurized air to create a pneumatic structure. I created a series of domes that house indoor pools as well as transitional spaces used as green houses. The domes are semi-transparent, which glow at night.
