Textile
architecture
The ideal combination of functionality and aesthetics
Even our ancestors had their own form of
archaic architecture which made use of furs, fabrics and leather,
to protect them from all types of weather.
Nowadays, large structures and canopies are being constructed
using the most modern technology and innovative construction
materials in the form of textile membranes as an alternative
to rigid building styles or even to replace them. This new trend
combines aesthetics with materials which preserve resources,
short construction times, high durability and low costs.
The design follows the function. The limitless
design possibilities of textile structures permit visions to
become reality and open up new space for us to live in together. |
