Tensile fabric is a versatile building material that can mould itself to the most unique and innovative design briefs, it can create infrastructure that no other traditional building material can match.
Tensile fabric architecture is everywhere! You might not have noticed it, but its there, to jog your memory we have picked our favourite worldwide examples.
Tensile fabric is rapidly becoming one of the most popular building materials available, its very nature dictates that it can mould itself into the most creative of structures. Just why is it so good though?
The WOW factor
Large tensile structures look great! They are eye catching and unique and put few restrictions on the architects and design team when creating the structure.
As market leaders in the tensile fabric industry, Architen Landrell feel strongly that research should be encouraged and supported which is why we form part of a syndicate of companies sponsoring Newcastle Universitys PhD course in Structural Engineering.
Project manager Josie Britton has joined several other Architen Landrell staff to attain 100% in her SMSTS exam. The Site Management Safety Training Scheme (SMSTS) qualification was introduced to the construction industry in 2007 under the new Construction (Design and Management) Regulations which aimed to ensure that employers of construction workers are competent in health and safety.
