After studying the historical background, the suitability of pneumatic formworks for the construction of irregular curved thin shells was examined, as an answer to modern double curved architecture. Part of the study is the design of the pneumatic formwork for an irregular curved thin concrete shell. Several measures to obtain the required shape were studied with a membrane engineering program. Guidelines for the design of pneumatic formwork are derived.
