Buildings by Inflate: surprise! They inflate.
A British company known as Inflate sells easily-erecting structures akin to — get ready for it, this reference is embarrassingly dorky — the capsule home technology in Dragon Ball Z (you can kill me in the comments for that).
Nick Crosbie, the head of Inflate, started out making simple things like fruit bowls and ashtrays, but got the idea to start making inflatable structures for places where temporary shelter is needed, such as concerts, expos and outdoor events. Inflate structures don't have to just be temporary, however, as they come in plenty of different shapes and sizes for anyone looking to get creative.
Inflate's structures may be easy on you, but the price may not be: some of them go for $7,000 a pop. Actually, you should do your best to avoid anything popping. Check out the gallery below for more from Inflate.

Estoy buscando información sobre estructuras abobedadas como las que muestran en estas fotos. Es para un evento artístico. Vivo en Argentina, y quiero saber si tienen sucursales en nuestro país, precios, y todo tipo de información. Muchas gracias.-
