Résumé:

"Frei Otto (b. 1925) is one of the great architects of the second half of the 20th century. He has produced an impressive body of work over more than fifty years, examined and presented here in full for the first time. His outstanding place in architectural history is based on inventing and researching wide-spanned lightweight structures like membranes, cable nets, grid shells and pneumatic constructions. Frei Otto always aims to create architecture that is environmentally friendly, energy-saving, light, mobile and adaptable." "As well as a chronological catalogue of all Frei Otto's designs and buildings, this book also includes ten essays by distinguished authors and experts, shedding light on fundamental aspects of Frei Otto's work."--BOOK JACKET.
