Abstract

The aim of the project was to design a small-to-medium size tension fabric structure to rejuvenate a chosen area on University campus. The structure was to have an aesthetic appeal, with the fabric membrane having a minimum life-span of 15 years. The structure is an impressive culmination of a fourth year project which incorporates aspects of civil engineering and architecture. A considerable benefit realised from the project was the learning experience for the students, encouraging self-development in many different aspects: creativity, understanding of unconventional concepts, appreciation of the underlying theory and design methodologies.
