DOE Air Structure
AP144.S2.D91
Description:
File documents work undertaken by the Lightweight Enclosures Unit (LEU) for the Department of the Environment (DOE), to produce a Draft for Development Code of Practice for Air Supported Structures (DD50) for general use by industry. The project was carried out by Frank Newby and Cedric Price, and includes some of the initial research originally carried out for Air Structures (AP144.S2.D63) and Lightweight Enclosures Unit (AP144.S2.D79). They developed and circulated a questionnaire on behalf of DOE, dated August 1973. The Draft for Development was produced on behalf of British Standards Institution (BSI) for PSA (Property Services Agency) of the Department of the Environment (DOE). Material in this file was produced between 1951 and 1993, but predominantly between 1965 and 1975. Group DR2004:0168 contains material by Ant Farm. Groups DR2004:0170 and DR2004:0172 contain materials that relate to Frei Otto. File contains samples, design development drawing, photographic material, and textual records.

Description:
- On 11 October 1860, during the Second Opium War (1858-1860), the British and French forces positioned heavy siege guns along the southern wall of the Altar to Earth [Ditan] (also known as the Temple of Earth) facing the Anting Gate (now Anding Men) and northern wall of the Inner City of Peking (now Beijing), which they threatened to bombard unless the Chinese surrendered the Anting Gate (now Anding Men) within forty-eight hours. The gate was surrendered at noon on 13 October 1860 (Harris, p. 143, p. 145). - At c.l. on the secondary support is a freehand plan drawing of the Anting Gate (now Anding Men), depicting its walls, two watchtowers and two gateways, and illustrating the traffic flow through the enclosed bastion [wengcheng] (Qi and Qi, p. 4).
