Article	BACKGROUND FOR THE FORMATION OF PNEUMATIC STRUCTURES IN MODERN ARCHITECTURE
Authors	K.A. Pshenichnikova, Moscow Institute of Architecture (State Academy), Moscow, Russia
Abstract	The article is devoted to the history of the formation of pneumatic structures from the first prototypes to buildings of the XX-XXI century. The purpose of the article is to identify the prerequisites for the emergence and development of pneumatic air shells in the context of modern architecture. It is established that previously seemed impossible ideas of such structures are now embodied in the works of architects and designers. The influence of social, scientific, economic, cultural and technological factors is noted. The article shows that the study of the development of pneumatic air structures makes it possible to predict the direction of their further development in the XXI century. The results can be used for the theory and practice of the formation of architectural objects based on pneumatic structures that are becoming increasingly important in modern domestic and foreign architecture.
Keywords:	pneumatic structures, air-support structures, fluoropolymer ETFE, 3D-modeling in architecture
