Brief: To design a feature entrance canopy for a company at the forefront of tensile fabric design demonstrating the uses of ETFE Click on the download below to read the brief.
Membrane structures rely on double curvature to resist imposed loads efficiently. Imagine a flat piece of fabric. An imposed download of snow can only be resisted by tension in the horizontal fibres…
Load Resolution Canopies fall into two main types, those that transfer tensile loads into adjoining structures and those containing the tensile loads within their own frame. The first type may generate large…
