6p pvc coated reinforcement tarpaulin sheeting

Large-scale tensile structures have only become popular in the latter part of the 20th century, but have long been used in tents, where guy ropes are used to provide pre-tension to the fabric membrane, which ultimately, allows it to withstand structural loads.

In fact, since the 1960s, tensile structures have been championed by designers and engineers the world over including Ove Arup, Buro Happold, Walter Bird and Frei Otto.

Often considered the fifth dimension' in building materials, experts in the industry insist architectural membrane rivals concrete, glass, timber and steel in terms of its effectiveness and value as a building and design material. Barry Patten's design for Melbourne's Sidney Myer Music Bowl in 1956 represents perhaps the earliest use of architectural membrane on a tensile structure.

In fact, Frei Otto's renowned designd for the West German pavilion at the 1967 World's Fair in Montreal, Canada, and the Olympic Park at the 1972 Olympic Games borrowed heavily from the Patten design. 

In the Middle East, however, well-known examples of architectural membranes are limited but they exist. Two small applications for the Movenpick and Grand Hyatt hotels in Jordan, Al Jabber Stadium in Kuwait, the large cricket stadium at Dubai Sports City, the Hajj Terminal at Jeddah Airport and, of course, the Burj Al Arab-the world's tallest structure that features a membrane façade. They're limited in number, but industry officials think that's going to change.

Architectural membrane could easily become the region's most popular architectural material-especially given its aesthetic similarity to the material used in Bedouin tents and the unparalleled forms achieved by its use-but, for that to happen, architects need to understand the benefits of using it.
