Membrane Structure

A Membrane Structure is a lightweight structural system that belongs to the class of tensile surface structures, distinguished by its reliance on pre-stressed, flexible materials—such as fabrics or thin sheets—whose curvature and form are determined by boundary conditions and applied forces to achieve stability and load-resistance primarily through tension rather than bending or compression.
