European Design Guide for Tensile Structures - Chapter 2 - Engineering Fabric Architecture
Fabric structures provide widespan enclosures of great spatial interest and variety, requireminimal supporting elements of “hard” structure and provide very good overall levels of nat-ural daylight. The purpose of this chapter is to outline the nature and characteristics of thisstructural type and to describe the primary issues that designers deal with and makedecisions about.
