Tensioned membrane structures

Tensioned membrane structures are architectural forms made from flexible materials like fabrics or plastics stretched tightly over a framework. The tension in the material provides strength and stability, allowing these structures to cover large areas without internal supports. Commonly used in stadiums, roofs, and pavilions, they’re lightweight, quick to install, and can be designed with various shapes and colors. The tension distributes forces evenly, making the structures durable and resistant to environmental elements such as wind and rain, all while creating visually striking, functional spaces.
