CONCEPT
The project aims to tensile structures that are architectural designs which use tension to provide structural support and stability, often characterized by their lightweight and flexible nature. These structures are used in a wide range of applications, from large-scale event venues to small-scale residential and commercial buildings.

The research begins with a review of existing literature on the design principles and construction techniques used in tensile structures. This will be followed by experimental testing, which will involve designing and constructing a series of small-scale models of tensile structures using various materials and construction methods.

These models subject to various types of stress and strain to observe their behavior and evaluate their structural integrity. The results of these experiments are used to develop mathematical models that can accurately predict the behavior of full-scale structures under different environmental conditions, such as wind loads and seismic activity.

FORM DEVELOPMENT
-Two hexagons are placed one above the other
-The top hexagons middle points are anchored
-A triangle is created at the center of the top hexagon
-The triangles corners are anchored
-The bottom hexagons corners points are anchored
-Tensile membrane is then tensioned to the anchors
