Atrium Tensile Structures

This tension provides enough rigidity to support the building's structure without any other supporting elements. Generally, tensile structures have walls that are made from canvas or synthetic fabric stretched across external steel frames. With the advances in technology and the use of smart materials, tensile structures can be found around the world. From stadiums to bridges and canopies, this is an increasingly popular choice for architects and engineers. An atrium tensile structure is a type of tensile structure that houses different kinds of spaces underneath a roof. This type of structure is useful for providing an indoor space with natural light. An atrium tensile structure is composed of two or more layers of fabric that are suspended from cables strung overhead; these layers are then pulled tight to create a translucent, lightweight roof system that encloses a space below it. The cables can be attached to concrete or steel pillars to support the weight loads below it.An atrium tensile structure is composed of two or more layers of fabric that are suspended from cables strung overhead; these layers are then pulled tight to create a translucent, lightweight roof system that encloses a space below it.

This also ties back into how architects and engineers design their buildings with sustainable materials such as recycled plastic netting instead of PVC pipe which can accumulate toxins over time because they struggle to degrade.
