Coming Soon: Spacebusters!

What’s that, Doctor Grima? Spacebusters is coming? You! Hop in the Ecto-1 with us and travel around the city, catching lectures and performances and talks and events, all in an inflatable pavilion courtesy Raumlabor and the Goethe (pronounced Goethe) Institute and Storefront for Art and Architecture! But what is it, Doctor Edificial?

The pavilion is comprised of an inflatable bubble-like dome that emerges from its self-contained compressor housing. The dome expands and organically adjusts to its surroundings, be it in a field, a wooded park, or below a highway overpass. The material is a sturdy, specially-designed translucent plastic, allowing the varying events taking place inside of the shelter—dance parties, lecture series, or dinner buffets—to be entirely visible from the outside and likewise the exterior environments become the events’ backdrops.

Did somebody say buffet?

I'm really going to miss the Goethe jokes.
