SUVREMENE PNEUMATSKE KONSTRUKCIJE U ARHITEKTURI KRITICKI PREGLED I ANALIZA/CONTEMPORARY PNEUMATIC STRUCTURES IN ARCHITECTURE CRITICAL REVIEW AND ANALYSIS

Pneumatske konstrukcije zapocele su razvoj s prvim balonima na topli zrak u 18. st., tijekom Drugoga svjetskog rata koriste se u vojne svrhe, nakon cega slijedi i njihova civilna upotreba. Krajem 20. i pocetkom 21. st., s ubrzanim razvojem suvremenih projektantskih tehnika i racunalnog upravljanja, dolazi do udruzivanja robotske komponente s pneumatskom konstrukcijom u nastajanju nove kategorije pneubotskih konstrukcija. This paper presents the evolution of pneumatic structures as a specific structural polytype. The development of pneumatic structures began with the first hot air balloons in the 18 (th) century. During World War II they were used for military purposes and afterwards for civilian purposes. Rapid development of contemporary design techniques and computer control in the late 20 (th) and the early 21 (st) century led to a combination of a robotic component and a pneumatic structure resulting in a new type of pneubotic structures.

Engineering affective atmospheres on the moving geographies of the 1897 Andrée expedition
How might the dynamic materiality of atmosphere be addressed in ways that register simultaneously its meteorological and affective qualities? The present article considers this question via a discussion of the kinds of atmospheric spaces in which the emergence and experience of modern balloon (or aerostatic) flight is implicated. In doing so it argues that aerostatic flight can be understood simultaneously as a technology for moving through atmosphere in a meteorological sense and as an event generative, at least potentially, of atmospheres in an affective sense. This argument is exemplified via a discussion of a particularly notable instance of balloon flight: the attempt, in 1897 by a Swedish engineer, Salomon August Andrée, and two companions, to fly to the North Pole in a hydrogen-filled balloon. Drawing upon a range of contemporaneous accounts, the article makes three claims about the expedition: first, that it can be understood, following Spinoza, as an effort to engineer a mode of addressing the meteorological atmosphere as a relational field of affect, second, that the passage of the expedition can be understood in terms of the registering of atmospheres (in both meteorological and affective terms) in moving, sensing bodies; and third, that the expedition was also generative of a distributed space of anticipation and expectancy. In concluding, the article speculates upon how conceiving of atmospheric space as simultaneously as meteorological and affective might contribute to recent attempts to rethink the materialities of cultural geographies.

In short. Episode 101, Hot air balloons
Episode 101 – Balloon: Hot air ballooning has a history stretching back more than 200 years. In November 1783 a paper balloon fashioned by the Montgolfier brothers took off from Paris carrying two passengers. Its hot air came from an open brazier fed with straw.
