Abstract
We describe the dynamics of interaction of giant vesicles with properly des igned decorated surfaces. The spreading of the vesicles leads to major defo rmations and is accompanied by the creation of transient macroscopic pores in the micrometer range. Different phenomena that have been observed by cha nging either the characteristic scale or the geometry of the decorated surf aces are reported and discussed.
