The Inflata Part 1 Project 2025 Chooi En Yu National University of Singapore | Singapore Inflata rises where land meets sea. Located beside the historic Pasir Panjang Power Station which is once a monument to fossil-fueled energy, the site is now reimagined as a space for resilience and renewal. This experimental sports facility adopts a biomimetic approach, breathing in seawater to inflate space, sculpt climate, and condition the human body.Rather than resist rising tides, Inflata invites them in. Inspired by the pufferfish, an organism that inflates by drawing in water to defend itself, the building uses seawater not as a threat but as a catalyst. Much like its natural counterpart, the building “breathes” in seawater to increase humidity and thermal stress, creating a dynamic training environment for heat acclimation. Architecture becomes climate: alive, adaptive, and embodied.Seawater flows through its spine; rain is caught by pivoting roof petals. Energy is born from waves where buoys rising with each tide, feeding hydraulic lungs that power the space. The architecture becomes an organism: pulsing, breathing, alive.Inflata reframes the narrative: from flood protection to flood symbiosis, from static form to responsive system. This is not just a building. It is a performance. A future-facing choreography of body, water, and weather, where architecture does not shelter from climate change, but trains us to meet it.
