Synopsis
New Tent Architecture is the first major publication to look at the exciting possibilities of contemporary tensile building and the most interesting membrane structures created in recent years. This wide-ranging international survey begins with a substantial architectural and cultural history of the tent, considering its origins, meaning and ecological elegance. The core of the book features thirty recent projects, grouped by theme (atrium covers and fabric walls, ring roofs and convertibles, small peaks, large waves) and presented extensively through accessible text descriptions, photographs and line drawings.
At the forefront of current architectural practice and offering countless lessons for an increasingly environmentally aware profession, New Tent Architecture will be of widespread appeal and use to architecture and design professionals, engineers and students worldwide.
