Inhaltsangabe
For the first time in this edition, Frei Otto's two studies of nonrigid structures (Pneumatic Structures and Cables, Nets, and Membranes) are available in one volume. Pneumatic Structures deals for the most part with surfaces loaded by tractive forces. Special membranes, of high tensile strength, are made semi-rigid by means of differences of enclosed air or fluid pressure and can serve as roofings, halls, silos, dams, or for any other application where ease and rapidity of construction and transportation are essential. This section is illustrated with 1,660 numbered photographs and line drawings, including many striking photographs of both models and existing implements and structures. In Cables, Nets, and Membranes the subject of nonrigid architectural structures is continued with a detailed investigation of structures under tensile loads, of which suspension bridges and tents are the most commonly known examples. Like pneumatic structures, tensile structures have the advantages of mobility, light weight, ease and speed of erection, and low cost.

Críticas
"The MIT Press has given us a volume so beautifully designed in black and white that it can as easily lead a life of leisure on the coffee table as become dog-eared in hard design-room service.... Mathematically and pictorially illustrated in immense and beautiful detail."-- "Engineer"

Frei Paul Otto (1925-2015) was a German architect and structural engineer noted for his use of lightweight structures, in particular tensile and membrane structures. His first major international project was his design for the West German pavilion at the 1967 world's fair in Montreal (Expo 67). With the construction of the stadium for the Munich Olympic games in 1972 Otto Frei became the great master of tensile structures. Otto was the recipient of numerous awards, including the Grand Prize of the German Association of Architects and Engineers, Berlin (1996), the Royal Gold Medal of the Royal Institute of British Architects (2005), and the Pritzker Prize (2015).
