Tensile membrane is a stable curved surface formed by high-strength flexible film material under the tension and compression of other materials, which can bear certain external load. Its free shape, light, soft, full of strength, flame retardant, easy to make, quick installation, energy saving, easy to use, safe and other advantages, so it is widely used all over the world.
As a new form of architecture in the fifties of this century began to appear in the world, has been more than 40 years of history, especially after the seventies, the application of membrane structure has been developed rapidly. The emergence of membrane structure provides architects with a change from the traditional building model to the traditional building materials and the use of membrane materials, the weight of which is only the 1/30 of traditional buildings. Moreover, the membrane structure can fundamentally overcome the difficulties encountered when the traditional structure is realized on a large-span (unsupported) building, and can create a huge unobstructed visual space. Its free and lightweight, flame retardant, easy to make, quick to install, energy saving, easy to use, safe and so on, so it is widely used all over the world. In addition, it is worth mentioning that under the sunlight, the interior of the building covered by the film is full of natural diffuse light, without strong contrast between the light surface and the shadow, and the indoor space visual environment is open and harmonious. At night, the lights in the building illuminate the night sky through the membrane of the roof, and the shape of the building shows a dreamlike effect. This structure is especially suitable for large stadiums, entrance corridors, sketches, public leisure and entertainment plazas, exhibition venues, shopping centers and other fields
