Five thought experiments on ultra-lightweight textile architecture – summarised with a real-world case study proving it can be built today.
Insights from practice – by an expert in textile architecture working at the interface of design, engineering, and fabrication
Flat textile facades are not advertising panels – they are architectural envelopes with technical depth, lightweight efficiency and expressive potential. Ideal for renovations, modular buildings and creative facade concepts.
Refurbishing textile roofs poses unique challenges – from missing documentation to outdated structural data. This article highlights key pitfalls, showcases real-life case studies, and offers practical advice for architects and engineers facing such complex renovation tasks.
