A new type of urban form? Possible futures for fabric structures in urban contexts

Abstract: This article explores possibilities for future uses of inflatable and fabric architecture in urban contexts. Such uses may serve regeneration or homeless sheltering purposes, drawing from the Bedouin and Traveller traditions. They may also build on the much more recent Western precedents offered by the "Occupy" movement and pop-up buildings, and arguably follow in the footsteps of Situationism.
