The first major book on the history of the tent and its use, along with an international survey of the most exciting and wide-ranging contemporary fabric structures. The tent is one of the oldest man-made structures. Prized for its lightness, mobility, small footprint, and structural elegance, it has been used for centuries by nomadic cultures. With increasing ecological concerns and the new formal possibilities offered by innovative materials and technologies, tent and tensile structures offer exciting and significant solutions to age-old problems. "New Tent Architecture" begins with a comprehensive introduction to the origins, contemporary manifestations, and ecological elegance of the tent. The core of the book comprises thirty contemporary projects grouped by theme--ring roofs, atrium covers, small peaks, large waves--each presented in detail through descriptions, photographs, and line drawings. A substantial reference section includes a glossary and bibliography, making this an essential book for architects, engineers, and design professionals. 250+ color illustrations.

Zelte kommen weltweit in zahlreichen Kulturen vor und haben eine lange Geschichte. Nomadenvölkern dienen sie als Wohnstätte. Schon die Römer setzten Zelte in großem Umfang beim Militär ein. Die Hauptanwendung erfährt das Zelt heutzutage nicht nur beim Camping-Urlaub, oder zur kommerziellen Nutzung als Fest- und Zirkuszelt. Unterschiedlichste Zeltkonstruktionen halten Einzug in der modernen Architektur. Neue Formen und Materialien eröffnen neue Möglichkeiten, die beispielsweise beim Bau des Japanischen Pavillons für die Expo 2000, oder auch für das Eden Projekt in Cornwall und Water Cube für die Olympischen Spiele in Peking 2008 zum tragen kommen. Drew stellt zahlreiche zeitgenössische Projekte vor. (Text engl.) 25,5 x 28 cm, 208 S., 250 Abb., davon sehr viele Farbabb., geb., [PU: Thames & Hudson]<
