The grassland gave birth to nomads, who successively took huts, tents and felt tents as their living places, flowing and inclusive. The yurt, as a type of traditional felt tent, is an active building grown in the soil of nomadic culture. In the long river of history, the result of the two-way travel of nomads and yurts is a creation that has been tested by time. The nomadic spirit and wisdom contained in it constantly provide reference and inspiration for modern life and residential space.

Inflatable yurts are periodic living Spaces suitable for modern life. It can be used as summer pastures, such as Aotel, Naadam, music festival, cross-country race, market, homestay and other living places, but also as emergency housing. In the design of the inflatable yurt, the shape of the typical yurt and the immortal column are selected. The Hana section has added Windows of different sizes, and the pottery section has been changed into a transparent starry skylight. The appearance shape of inflatable yurts was formed by two kinds of heat sealing technology, point type and line type.

Inflatable yurts should be 3-10 meters in diameter, and larger specifications can also be customized. For 4-meter inflatable yurts, the weight is about 45kg, the rapid inflatable construction is completed in 10 minutes, and the deflated storage and folding are completed in 15 minutes. After folding, the volume changes from 34.34m³ to 0.8m³, which can be put into the trunk of the car. The vehicle-mounted inflatable yurt changes the transportation mode of traditional yurts.

The double PVC air bag wall makes the inflatable yurt have better thermal insulation and heat insulation, and has the characteristics of moisture-proof and waterproof. The light transmission characteristics of the material make the inflatable yurt shine at night in a special way, making it easier for people on the grassland to find the direction and destination.

The traditional yurt strategy for dealing with snow disasters is through the slope of the roof, where the more snow falls, the greater the slope of the yurt Uni. Inflatable yurts have two advantages in dealing with snow disasters, one is that the smooth skin is not suitable for adhesion, and the other is that the changeable skin is easy to remove. Traditional yurts cope with floods by lifting the felt to raise the bottom to reduce the resistance of water flow, while inflatable yurts can easily cope with floods through the buoyancy of the air bag walls.

When traditional yurts face wind disasters, first, the circle itself is conducive to wind decomposition, and second, heavy objects are suspended from the pottery part to lower the center of gravity of the yurt, while the inflatable yurt responds by being circular and fixed at the bottom. The flexibility of its flexible structure can cope with strong winds and has a good digestion force.

The traditional yurt has the form of cattle, horses and camels. Inflatable yurts are transported by car. Traditional yurts disassemble and separate the skeleton part and felt system, fold and bind the skeleton system, and collect and bind the felt system. The inflatable yurt consists of three parts: an air bag, an air pump and a mobile power supply. This allows inflatable yurts to be built anywhere, far from the grid.

Inflatable yurt is a soft body covering yurt, it gives people a feeling of peace of mind with soft texture. Inflatable yurt is a breathing rhythm of the yurt, it expands and contracts and vibrates with the change of air temperature. Inflatable yurt is a flowing yurt by water and grass, and it chooses a scenic place to camp.
