Shade Structures
Tensile Structures
Sculptural membrane structures — hypars, cones and barrel vaults — for plazas, walkways and landmark spaces.
Architecture in fabric
Tensile structures combine a tensioned membrane with steel masts and cables to create striking, efficient shade over large spans.
Forms we build
- Hyperbolic paraboloid (hypar) sails
- Conical canopies, single or clustered
- Barrel vaults and arched walkways
We handle form-finding, patterning, fabrication and installation as one coordinated package.
