气泡（Bubbles）是一个基于城市尺度的可适应性充气装置。装置由一个大型充气体系组成，巨大的尼龙气囊挂在相互连接的透明管道上，这一体系可以根据来访者的行为进行收缩和膨胀。如果场地上没有访问者活动，整个场地空间会逐渐被这些泡泡填满，创造出一个半透明的，由泡泡填充形成的空间形态。泡泡中的传感器控制安装在管子中的风扇调节泡泡中的空气含量，并且设定出一个每一组泡泡中进行空气交换的系统。来访者所感受的不是一个固定的空间立面而是一种体积可变的建筑系统。当来访者触碰一个泡泡时，泡泡会收缩，从而在装置内部提供出空间，活动越多空间就越开放，通透。从一开始，这一装置的目的就在于创造出一个可感知的建筑环境，这一环境可以根据不同的外界条件进行变化。
Bubbles is an adaptable spatial pneumatic installation at an urban scale. The installation consists of large pneumatic volumes that inflate and tong in reaction to the visitors coming to the site. If unoccupied the volume of the site is slowly filled by the spatially distributed sacks creating a translucent bubble translucent infill. Sensors in the bubbles cause a fan in the manifold to transfer air to the bubble.Visitors encounter an adaptive volumetric sense of architecture rather than a static surface. When a visitor bumps or pushes a bubble, it deflates, providing a pathway into the installation. The huge rip-stop nylon airbags hang in pairs connected by clear ducting. When touched, sensors initiate an exchange of air between the spheres. From the onset, the intent was to make a fully immersive architectural environment which could spatially respond to the changing social conditions.
