peer agreement (net): +1textile membrane construction Explanation: Textiles Bauen Fadenverbundene Zweiwandgewebe werden als Membranen für Temporärbauten und als Material für pneumatische Konstruktionen eingesetzt. Sie finden ebenfalls Anwendung im Zeltbau und für textile Sonnenschutzsysteme. http://www.girmes.de/intex/intex_textilesbauen.htm. Textiles Bauen is referred to as "Membranbauweise" in: www.architekturmuseum.de/augsburg/picthtm/ ausstellung/1999/archiv1999.htm Roofing or enveloping the supporting grid-shell structure with a textile membrane skin provides the interior spaces with a weather-skin, climatic envelope and transparent roof all at the same time. The lightness of the construction is further emphasised in this way. The changing translucency of the envelope varies with the use of the rooms inside. http://www.fibersource.com/Textile_Arch/Cat-5.htm. |
