…steel to support the roof or façade, enabling long spans of column-free space. In addition, membrane offers building owners reduced construction and maintenance costs compared to traditional building materials. It…
…a breakthrough composite architectural membrane roofing system, developed by Birdair, Cabot Corporation and Geiger Engineers. The material consists of a Nanogel aerogel layer sandwiched between two layers of structural PTFE…
…duty free purchases and other administrative operations. It is flanked by two divergently styled tensile structures which, though different in shape, are conceived to be complementary. One echoes the adjacent…
…that environmental responsibility doesn’t come at the expense of economic competitiveness. Because PTFE fiberglass membrane fabric requires less structural steel to support a roof or façade, long spans of column-free…
…The new Tensotherm structure is a composite system that features PTFE-coated fiberglass as the exterior membrane and inner liner, and one 8mm layer of Nanogel blanket sandwiched in between. The…
…This creates an insulated, energy-efficient inner layer that maintains translucency and promotes glare- free natural daylighting. While less than 50mm thick, the durable, fade resistant fabric maintains high R- values…
…project like this, the coordination between engineering, fabrication and installation had to be exact. We’re proud of the structure we built and look forward to seeing the amphitheater become a…
