Bird, Walter – Building Research, 1972
On May 26-27, 1971, the Building Research Institute, in cooperation with 20 industrial corporations, conducted a 2 1/2-day international, interdisciplinary Air Structures Forum in Chicago. The Forum was designed to provide those having a special interest in air-supported structures with the opportunity to review and discuss the state-of-the-art.…

Air structures can be erected quickly, cover large areas, cost substantially less than conventional buildings, and use less natural resources. Air structures are economically utilized for many facilities, such as athletic fields, swimming pools, high schools, day care centers, and college campuses. The literature on air structures covered in this…

Valerio, Joseph M.; And Others – Saturday Review: Science, 1973
Describes and evaluates several avant garde'' examples of air structures. Included are a soft'' child's playpen, a pneudome that employs a water ballast for anchoring, a one-acre enclosed campus, an instant city'' constructed for an industrial design conference, and the Fuji Pavilion, at Expo '70 in Osaka, Japan, that was large enough to cover…

Shaver and Co., Michigan City, IN. – 1972
One of the newest and most promising developments in architecture has been the use of lightweight structures for encapsulating space. Using this new technology, builders can enclose large and small areas at a fraction of the cost of conventional construction and at the same time provide interior space that is totally flexible. This brochure shows…

Green, Peter – 1975
Photographs and descriptions of four projects using fabric to enclose large spaces are published so that administrators and designers looking for ways to build recreational facilities can consider these innovative shelters. Three of the four examples in this publication are air-supported structures: University of Santa Clara, Charles Wright…
