AIR STUCTURESAir can be used in a variety of ways to make lightweight, flexible
structures. It can be used to make inflatable structures, mobile
structures, and temporary buildings, it can also activate movable
elements and act as a means of constructing buildings that would be
impossible with conventional construction methods. This book looks at
every facet of the subject, examining the different types of air
structure: super pressure buildings, air beam structures, buoyant
structures, inflatable structures, and many more. It also looks at the
construction methods that use air, such as air-inflated steel, aerated
concrete and blow moulding. Filled with photographs, models, drawings,
and diagrams, this is the ideal book for curious students, designers and
architects. |
