“Breathing on the Island” is an experiment with three-fold directions:

1. the research of composite materials: through the trials of different inflatable fabrics, the project aims to develop a fabric that can seal the air and achieve the features of quick inflation and deflation, being airtight and water-proof.

2. the processing method of inflatable fabric: through the studies of pattern and origami, the fabric will be folded and imposed with a specific structure. By inflating the structure, it will grow from two-dimensional plane to a three-dimensional balloon; furthermore, it can be easily stored after deflation.

3. the combination of inflatable fabric and components: putting small components and sensors in the inflatable material to reach the intelligence function.
