There is an ever increasing need for large column-free spaces related to numerous activities ranging from hangars to industrial production lines, sports facilities and even art galleries. The demands for wide span structures and economic enclosures has generated some exciting solutions in both architecture and engineering terms. Supersheds traces the development of this type of building which has closely followed technological progress, starting with the Crystal Palace, early train sheds and airship hangars. The author looks at the potential for lightweight structures and provides valuable information on the choice of structure and suitable forms. Recent transportation buildings for high speed railways and the latest airport terminals are covered in a new chapter, whilst another examines the latest sports and leisure buildings including the options for retractable roofs for stadia.
