Foreword Ian Liddell
1. Introduction: Pleasure, Power and Payload
evolution of balloons / the pneumatic imagination
evolution of concepts of ideal environment - Garden of Eden to Crystal Palace
2. The Pneumatic Imagination: Architectural Ideas and Applications
Concepts of lightness, efficiency (doing more with less) and total environments as developed by Buckminster Fuller, Walter Bird, Frei Otto and Archigram
3. Material Matters: ETFE
Material ingredients/chemical makeup, manufacture/processing, properties
Who developed ETFE, original use and subsequent applications outside architecture and building construction
manufacturing of ETFE films (cutting and patterning, welding, printing)
first generation ETFE architectural projects
-Munich Olympics maintenance depot (Gunter Behnisch)
-Botanical and aquatic enclosures in Germany and the Netherlands- Vector/Foiltec
Design and Production Stefan Lehnart
4. Soft Structure
characteristics of the material: yield, equilibrium with air pressure
characteristics of the cushion system; fluid damping, synclastic system, size and shape, span, air pressure, camber, lighter primary structure, elimination of secondary structure, temperature and humidity, creep, edge stresses / edge details, puncture / repair
5. The Performative Skin
Light transmission / UV transmission
Degradation
Thermal performance
Acoustics
Fire
Sustainability - raw materials, embodied energy, energy consumption in use, recycling,
Cradle-to-cradle
Energy production / photovoltaics
6. Environmongery - The Variable Skin
Ability to change light transmission, thermal attributes and appearance through variable air pressure
7. Life Safety
8. The Communicative Skin
9. The Climatic Envelope: The Next Generation
-Projects now on the drawing boards offer the potential of achieving the large environmental envelopes envisioned by Fuller, Otto and others.
-Implications/projections/crystal gazing
Public vs private realms
Liberation vs captivation (internal freedom vs external control)
Flexibility vs monoculture
Sustainability and the environment
