- catalog abstract "This book addresses the development towards the urban use of membrane and cable net structures. Through the study of conventional historical examples which also have non-linear geometries, the authors show how traditional buildings can be used as an inspirational source when searching for ways to introduce the curved forms of tensile structures into the urban scene. Included in the book are case studies of projects from around the world which have contributed to the urban use of tensile architecture. The many drawings and photographs throw light on the process of designing and detailing membrane and cable net structures when used in combination with more conventional construction. The authors address the subject of designing fully enclosed and subdivided tensile covered spaces and also cover the environmental implications of the use of lightweight tensile structures. The case studies include the Imagination Building in London, the German Pavilion in Seville, the Diplomatic Club in Riyadh and many more.".
