| dc.description.abstract | There has been a gradual shift in construction of long-span covers, from the use of opaque and heavy materials, to the use of transparent and lightweight ETFE (ethylene tetrafluoroethylene) cushions. This paper presents an overview on contemporary covers constructed with lightweight materials, from the research of Frei Otto and Buckminster Fuller, to the possibility of achieving a large city-scale dome enclosure. |
