TensiNet SYMPOSIUM
Designing Tensile Architecture
19 and 20 September 2003 in Brussels, Belgium
OBJECTIVE
Nowadays building with flexible, lightweight materials such as coated membranes and cables has become a new form of construction with its very own principles and characteristics. To many people involved in the building industry, the use of pretensioned textiles is a new and unknown concept. Therefore, during the symposium, this rather new type of construction will be looked at in all its aspects. From material characteristics to statical analysis, from concept to execution, international speakers will give an overview of the intriguing way of building and its wide range of application.
The reference data available in the database on the website www.tensinet.com as well as the Design Guide will be presented.
TARGET GROUP
The aim of the symposium is to increase the interest in and appreciation for membrane and lightweight structures. Architects, engineers and constructors as well as professors and students interested or involved in the design and manufacture of non-conventional structures are invited to learn more about existing lightweight constructions, ongoing projects and future applications.
