摘要： An air structure comprises a double-skin wall construction having an outer skin that is substantially transparent to short wave solar radiation but relatively opaque to long wave heat radiation and an inner skin. Radiation converter elements, preferably in the form of black plastic diaphragms linking the inner and outer skins and effective to absorb solar radiation and to convert the same to heat energy are disposed in the inter-skin space. The structure is self-erecting on exposure to solar radiation, and may advantageously be combined with a heat store that emits heat and maintains the structure erected under conditions of reduced solar radiation availability. The structure may be free floating or may be anchored to the ground to form, for instance, a greenhouse or other enclosure.
