The Switchable Air Pillow Pavilion is a parametric installation that integrates Grasshopper-based pneumatic simulations, detailed construction drawings, and physical prototyping to explore adaptive architectural forms. By iterating through digital inflation cycles and material behavior studies, the design workflow ensures both precision and feasibility from model to mock‑up.

At runtime, Arduino‑controlled ETFE layers dynamically modulate light transmittance and internal air pressure, while embedded sensors stream real‑time air pollution data to an on‑site visualization. This responsive system not only creates engaging microclimates but also raises environmental awareness and enhances the pavilion’s functional usability.
