Tensile ArchitectureTensile architecture is a relatively new field of architecture devoted to lightweight membrane structures. Composed primarily of fabric tent-like structures, this form of architecture is well suited for sheltering large areas, such as stadiums, arenas, outdoor shelters, and airport terminals. Since the 1960s, tensile structures have been championed by designers and engineers such as Frei Otto, Horst Berger, and David Geiger.
