OBJECTIVES
To find out the uses of textiles for architecture and
drawbacks .

To find out what are the textile materials used in

todays architecture.

Study them in detail with applications. To find Future trends in textile architecture

INTRODUCTION
What

is textile Architecture ? Architectural

design using textile membranes made of high-strength coated polyester fabrics.

Membrane structures
of textile membranes

- challenging designs from an

architectural point of view on account of the low weight and high degree of flexibility

BACKGROUND
The

conventional usage of textile

furniture in drawing rooms, and spreads in bedrooms,

oUpholstered oCushions oRunners oThe

and covers in the dining halls,

draperies in the kitchens, to the curtains, tapestries ,

oBathrooms oOther

endearments in the houses.

Today

raise the need to enhance the appearance of buildings.

For

that, textiles are used in architectural statures.

Why textiles for constructions?

Construction Durability Handling Resistant Harm Easily Light

cost is Low

is high is easy to weather type is high

is less replaceable & Repairable

in weight moldable

Easily Non

conductive

Textile architecture can be applied at

Commercial Urban Park

buildings

design projects

and landscape design locations and leisure facilities for special events

Sports

Structures Tourism

and catering facilities

WHAT IS FERRARI Prcontraint COATED FABRIC?

A A

woven base cloth of high tenacity polymer thread. coating with the fabric under constant tension in both

warp and weft directions through out the manufacturing process.

over the surface of the yarns.

Exclusive Features
Dimensional

stability

Resistant to elongation

The stability and regularity of the Prcontraint ferrari .is three times in weft than conventional fabric/

Threads are completely straight - biaxial tension ensures strict control of the weft yarn
In prcontraint coated fabric,weft yarn direction remains identical.

Conventional coated textiles shows serious deformation of weft yarm.
