全球化時代下的社會，移動已成為必然，人們因應各種原因移動各地。而我以自身背包旅行經驗去探討背包變形成帳篷的可能性。根據牛頓的質量守恆定律，任何物件不會無中生有－儘管壓縮了物件本身的體積，但重量一樣不變。而我主要利用地表中有一大豐厚的資源「空氣」，搭配輕量的充氣面料。當充氣時，膨漲成立體狀態；洩氣時，再經壓縮成背包。這樣的作法既符合定律，也實踐了輕量變形的可能性。

充氣體的結構性：透過研究與實作，從中研究出氣囊擠壓與構造設計使本身自體成型而穩定，並具有方向性的形變。儘管課程已經結束，後續我仍會研究更好的比例關係、材料、設計方法。我認為充氣結構的發展有利於未來構築的探索，此階段的驗證，將助於後續大尺度的設計與發展。

In the era of globalization, mobility is inevitable for people who live in this society. People move around for various reasons. Therefore, as a backpacker, my travel experience is worthwhile to explore the possibility of a backpack becoming a tent. According to Newton's Law of Conservation of Mass, any object will not be born out of nothing - although the volume of the object itself can be compressed, it still has the same weight.

There is a sufficient resource called air that exists on the surface of earth. Combining Lightweight fabrics with air, when it is inflated, its volume will enlarge; when it is deflated, it is compressed into a backpack. This approach not only consists with the law, but also practices the possibility of the deformation. It just uses the atmospheric resources to transform the state and make the best value.

The structure of the inflatable body: Through research and implementation, it was researched that the airbag extrusion and structural design made the fabric self-formed and stabilized. At the same time, the deformation is directional. Although the course is finished, better proportional relationships, materials, and design methods are still some points need to be improved. The development of inflatable structures is a powerful driving role to explore future construction. The practice in this stage will be very helpful to design and develop the project in the future.
