Tensile & Fabric Structures

Lightweight shading and roofing solutions using tensile membranes and fabric structures.

A unique signature in engineering.

Engineering considerations

Tensile structures combine membranes, cables, connections and supports. Their design depends on form-finding, prestress, load paths, connection detailing and material selection. Japatak considers these aspects while developing a project-specific solution.

Typical deliverables

  • Form concept and geometry model
  • Membrane and cable analysis report
  • Connection and support details
  • Cutting patterns and fabrication drawings
  • Installation drawings and maintenance guidance
