We made a 1:10 model of our skyrise and used a hair dryer to inflate the model. We found out that unfortunately, even though we had sewn pieces of triangular emergency blankets together, the shaped would not be kept when it is inflated and becomes cylindrical because there isn't a backbone structure for the tensegrity- prism shape.
Also because the blanket material is so light, it cannot stand upright by itself. We might need to slot in sand bags at the bottom to make it more heavier.
Here are some exterior and interior photos of the model with fairy lights inserted inside. The space is not dark enough to create and intensifying effect, but we can still see spots of the LED bulbs like fireflies. 
So to keep the tensegrity shape we are going to use a structure of continuous inflatable tubes to act as a backbone. The emergency blanket will still be sewn on to each sides so the model still looks similar, except the strips of white fabric will be inflated into tubes instead of the whole volume so that people can still go inside and not let the air leak out. 
We need to test out whether we can insert the fairylights or ropelights into the tubes and also have air blown in to inflate. We are looking at Panda Blowers like the ones used for jumpy castles, and also clear polythene plastic for the tubes instead of the white fabric.
We'll have more testing soon once semester break is over.
