C 2.1 Structure Development
After generating the form, we start how to rationalize the constructability as the structure determines whether the form will be success or not. One of the advantage of tensile material is it requires relatively less amount of structural material and light in its weight. For the reason that the anchor points helped to shape the membrane, we designed the structure in a way of integrating the parts of the structure with the membrane form. The line along the anchor point would simply be the structure of the installation. That is to say, the perimeter of the structure will be continuous and the top and bottom structure will share parts of the structure. Then, the fabric will be simply stretched by the continuous frame which takes the advantage of tensile membrane, would have a fluid and curvy surface.
