Tensile Structures Fabrication

Description

Tensile Structure Fabrication refers to the process of designing, manufacturing, and erecting structures that derive their strength and stability from tension rather than compression or bending, which are the primary forces at work in more traditional construction materials like steel and concrete. Tensile structures are lightweight compared to other types of construction, yet they are capable of spanning large areas and creating visually striking architectural forms. These structures are commonly made from tensile fabric membranes supported by steel cables, rods, and sometimes rigid frames.
