tensile structures
Tensile structures are architectural forms that use tension to support loads. They are typically made from flexible materials like fabric or cables, which are stretched between points to create a stable shape. This design allows for large, open spaces without the need for internal supports, making them ideal for structures like canopies, sports arenas, and exhibition halls.
These structures rely on the principles of engineering and physics to distribute forces evenly. The tension in the materials helps maintain the shape and stability of the structure, while also allowing for unique and aesthetically pleasing designs.
