[Inflatable Air-Room] The prefab air-room is an assembled inflatable pod that protects its inhabitants from calamities/ pollutants as a tensile shell structure and a vacuumed ecosphere, which is self-sufficient with air/ food/ water. Its translucency informs users of surrounding environmental changes by computerized sensor digital output, preventing them from re-entering haphazardly into an exacerbated environment. In the case of extreme conditions, the air-room becomes mobile and takes off to a safer environment. When not in emergency use, the air-room can possibly double as water reservoir replacing existing water towers, a guestroom, or even an entertainment center.
