The symposium was the fifth of a series that began in Brussels in 2003: Designing Tensile Architecture, and continued in Milano in 2007: Ephemeral Architecture: Time and Textiles, Sofia in 2010: Tensile Architecture: Connecting Past and Future, and in Istanbul in 2013: [RE]THINKING Lightweight Structures.
The theme of the COST Action TU1303 (2014-2017) is Novel structural skins - Improving sustainability and efficiency through new structural textile materials and designs
