Beyond the raw materials of air and plastic, E2’s Creative Director will discuss the genius and beauty of transient structures, bringing his experiential sensibility to the topic of all things inflatable.

In one of his final public talk for 2009, Alex will draw on a gamut of inspirational inflatable spaces, and express his views on the renaissance of impermanent structures in recent years. Bringing a wealth of international experience to the table, Alex confesses to having a ‘healthy fascination with the ephemeral’. In what promises to be an informative and entertaining evening, the discussion will then move to cover the place of inflatable architecture in the commercial design world and lessons that can be applied to the design of exhibition, event and built environments.
