This copy is securely bound in original stiff card wrappers, maintaining a wonderfully square and tight binding with no reading creases to the spine. The outer wrappers remain exceptionally clean and bright, showing only the faintest trace of superficial edge-wear to the extremities. Internally, the text block is crisp, bright, and entirely free from foxing or handling marks, presenting sharp corners and an unblemished layout. A highly presentable, well-preserved architectural copy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCatalogue Note\u003c\/b\u003e: This first edition was published as part of the highly influential 'Mitteilungen des Instituts für leichte Flächentragwerke' (IL) series, originating under the direction of the pioneering architect Frei Otto at the University of Stuttgart. This specific issue, IL 19, explores the fascinating intersection of pneumatic structures within nature and technics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003eThe volume is thoroughly illustrated, with the cover prominently featuring a striking halftone reproduction of a soap bubble set against a projected parallel-line screen. As an authoritative architectural text from the late 1970s, bilingual copies in this excellent, unread condition are increasingly scarce on the open market, particularly those that have evaded the heavy use typical of institutional libraries or architectural design studios.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003eUnder the visionary guidance of Frei Otto, \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"50\"\u003eIL 19: Wachsende und sich teilende Pneus (Growing and Dividing Pneus)\u003c\/i\u003e delves into the genesis and form metamorphosis of pneumatic structures. By drawing parallels between natural biological growth, such as dividing cells and soap bubbles, and lightweight tensile architecture, the text offers a profound study of fluid architecture. This volume stands as a testament to Otto's revolutionary approach to organic design and flexible moulding, making it an essential resource for structural engineers, architects, and those fascinated by the biomimetic principles of the built environment.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadhursts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55542978937171,"sku":"6324","price":85.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/1469\/6787\/files\/20261015_094813.jpg?v=1792572837","url":"https:\/\/broadhurstsbooks.com\/products\/il-19-wachsende-und-sich-teilende-pneus-growing-and-dividing-pneus","provider":"Broadhursts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
