(Hardcover)
It's an esoteric building technology, but the author fell in love with tensioned fabric structures decades ago. He shares his knowledge for designers and builders who seek a deeper, more practical understanding of such structures than is found in books presenting lavish display of photogenic case studies or, at the other end of the spectrum, those filled with complex differential equations related to structure analysis. Huntington is an experienced practitioner, and he methodically addresses all aspects of the design and construction processthe possibilities and limitations of fabric roofs as well as how to deal with energy, lighting, acoustical, and fire safety issues.
