textile architecture

Textile architecture involves designing structures using flexible materials like fabrics, membranes, and textiles rather than traditional solid materials. These structures are supported by frameworks such as cables or supports, creating lightweight, versatile, and often visually striking spaces. Examples include tensile roofs, stadium canopies, and temporary event pavilions. The approach allows for innovative forms, efficient use of materials, and adaptability, blending engineering and aesthetics to shape spaces that are functional, sustainable, and visually engaging.
