Architectural Textiles Used in Construction and Others
Most people have spent the night in a tent at one time or another and have benefited from fabric protection or use of architectural textiles while enjoying the feeling of being separated from nature by nothing more than a thin layer. Architectural textiles have a long history dating back to the Palaeolithic era and represent an architectural design that continues to exist today. The textiles are lightweight, easy to rebuild or disassemble and provide protection against wind, ultraviolet rays and rain.

Mehler Texnologies®, a global leader in high performance materials with customers in more than 60 countries, is the industry standard for technical textiles. With class leading brands like Polymar®, Valmex® and Airtex®, they are the ultimate benchmark for performance and innovation.
Modern architecture or use of engineered architectural fabrics have rediscovered the principle of the tent as an architectural form and has further developed its use within the construction industry, not only for temporary buildings but also for permanent buildings. Advanced and durable fabrics allow you to overcome large areas, which has made it a highly specialized sector in the construction industry. At the same time, the specific static requirements imposed on textiles due to wind load, weather and deformation, together with structural factors such as the assembly and reinforcement of these textile elements, require a high degree of technical expertise. The production and cutting of fabric sections are based on complex patterns that can also integrate statically relevant factors thanks to the latest computer technology.
In this article and those that will follow in our series on 'The Fabric of Building: Engineered Architectural Fabrics we will be describing textile structures used in a wide range of architectural textile applications and highlighting the diversity of fabrics employed in architecture.
Whether the innovative use of industrial networks as in the last example or the use of special architectural textiles, the potential to use materials in construction planning is far from exhausted, as many high-tech textiles used in industry are not yet available for construction applications. At the same time, construction with textiles and, above all, the use of membranes is increasingly important in architecture and is increasingly used in large-scale projects, which will be addressed in the next article in our series “Textile Architecture”.
