Abstract

The paper reviews some different facility proposals developed for leisure activities or commercial exchange, such as fairs or markets, proposals for which the portability, lightness and ease of erection are determining conditions. Deployable structures suit very well these requirements, and some novel solutions of them are proposed. A brief review of the fabric covers, the folding systems of the textile cover and the bundle of bars is carried out. The typology of deployable structures with oblique modules is analysed, paying special attention to umbrella-type structures, pitched roofs and pyramidal domes. The three previous ones are considered types of great utility to construct transportable, simple and efficient enclosures for the development of leisure activities and of small commerce. They are Abstractalso easily adaptable to emergency Heresituations, the main object of our research.
