Membrane structure is also called tensile membrane structure, which is the most representative architectural form in the 21st century.

(1) Large span.

The membrane structure is light in weight and has good seismic performance. It does not require internal support. It overcomes the difficulties encountered by traditional structures in large-span buildings. It can create a huge unobstructed visible space and effectively increase the space usage area.

(2) Artistry.

Membrane structure breaks through the traditional architectural structure types. It relies on styling and color science to combine natural conditions, give full play to the imagination of architects, and create curves and various shapes that are difficult to achieve in traditional buildings based on creativity.

(3) Economy.

The film material has a certain light transmittance, which can reduce the intensity and time of lighting during the day and save energy; the transmission of colored lights at night can form a gorgeous landscape. Moreover, the membrane structure can be disassembled and moved easily, especially when constructing large-span buildings for short-term applications, which is more economical.

(4) Security.

The membrane material has flame retardancy and high temperature resistance, which can well meet the fire protection requirements; the membrane structure is light in weight and has good seismic performance.

(5) Self-cleaning.

The membrane material with protective coating is used in the membrane building, which is not sticky. The dust falling on the membrane material can be washed naturally by rain to achieve a good self-cleaning effect, while ensuring the service life of the building.

(6) Short construction period.

The cutting of the diaphragm, the production of the steel cable and the steel structure are all completed in the factory, reducing the on-site construction time, so the construction period is shorter than the traditional construction project.

(7) Wide application.

From the perspective of climatic conditions, membrane structure buildings are suitable for many places; in terms of scale, they can be as small as a single tent, as large as a building covering tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of square meters. Some people even imagined covering a small city and realizing man-made nature.
