Discover how architects from all over the world are using air as a material for new, bolder, more environmentally-friendly projects! Lavishly illustrated with photos.

Through these thirty international projects, this book presents an overall picture of all the architectural possibilities that the air around us, whether natural or artificial, can offer: air-supported structures, insulating devices, invisible walls made from curtains of air, bioclimatic constructions... At a time of ecological transition, this book offers new perspectives on housing and innovative, environmentally-friendly solutions.
Architectural projects include: Showroom Prada (USA), Dustyrelief (Thaïland), the Dutch Windweel (The Netherlands), the Blur building (Switzerland)
