2018: Towards an Era of shade, signage and pillows
I got into fabric structures in the 1980âs when The Haj Terminal in Saudi Arabia designed by American Architecture firm Skidmore Owings & Merrill (SOM) were on the cover of every architectural magazine in the world and air and tensioned fabric structures from U.S. based Geiger Berger Associates were the talk of the Engineering town. The Fabric structure world here in the US has made a lot ofâŚ

Night and Day
Hereâs a project in the suburbs of Philadelphia. Itâs an entrance for a high end residential complex. Fabric structures are not all white and come in all shapes and sizes. Â It was designed for both day and night. Its been about 10 years! Â Itâs good to see an old friend. Â

2017: Towards a Clear and Vertical Fabric Architecture
Itâs time to look back on the year that was. And some thoughts on the year to come. In the fabric structure industry here in the USA, two major projects caught my eye: Viking Stadium in Minneapolis, MN and the Stadiums at the US Open in Flushing Meadows, NY. To the general public, the roof of the new Viking Stadium looks like a typical glass skylight but just the idea of watching a sporting eventâŚ

Going full Korean for late night dinner.
This picture of the World Trade Center hangs in my Dining Room. We don't use that room that often these days but when I walk by it I never forget. My kids are too young to remember what life was like before that day in September. God is in control.
No job is too small You see and hear a lot about the big jobs...stadiums, airports, malls, etc. It's nice every so often to work on a small project.

Hypar Park is an adaptable shade structure system based on the concept of the hyperbolic paraboloid. The structure is designed to support a âHyparâ membrane. The fabric roof can be made of structural mesh, vinyl coated polyester, ptfe, etfe or stretch fabric and can be installed on the structure quite easily. These architectural umbrellas can be laid out in any configuration and are ideal forâŚ

Camp Wayne for Girls Gymnastic Pavilion. This project was done many years and has had its cover replaced a couple of times as well. Itâs a temporary pavilion for gymnastics at a girls camp in Pennsylvania. It could easily be a pavilion for eating, dancing, sports, yoga or as an outdoor meeting place with protection from the elements any where. Itâs easy enough to be taken down and installed byâŚ

April Showers bring May Flowers
April Showers bring May Flowers
Weâve all heard the expression âApril Showers bring May Flowersâ. I know its February (almost March) but remember it rains a lot in April and May. When Spring comes people start to spend more time outside and look for the same protection from the elements they expect all year. Fabric Structures provide a great solution to high winds, surprise snow, spring showers and heavy down pours. Its not badâŚ

Covering Alfresco Living
If you are interested in extending your living space whether its for your home, restaurant, hotel or place of business, here are a couple of options. Stretch Fabric Awnings or tent Donât want a typical retractable awning or if you need to cover an odd space? Try a stretch fabric. The material is a bit more forgiving and reaction loads are less than other tensile materials. Attach it directly to aâŚ

Learning from EXPO
I love Worldâs Fairs.
I love the pavilions there.
I went to the one in Seville in 1992 and it changed my life.
This year it is in Milan and if you can see past the crowds, construction and the protesters, there are some incredible structures out there.
ALOT of them using fabric as a building material.
Why not?
Its quick to design, engineer, fabricate and install. It can transform a space like noâŚ

Do you really NEED a fabric structure?
Do you really NEED a fabric structure?
Not really.
To Live, you NEED water, food and shelter.
Everything else is a WANT.
Well, do you really WANT a Fabric Structure?
It all depends.

How Hard Can It Possibly Be?
There are 5.1 things that I learned over the past 12 months since I started my own business after 20 years working for a variety of companies.
   1. âIts just steel, fabric and cablesâ. It seems that way but there is so much more. There is design, engineering, fabrication and installation. So much of it is behind the scenes. The client and the contractor and the user think its so easy but asâŚ
