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

Ceiling Tiles Zhejiang China (Mainland)

BACKGROUND

The conventional usage of textile

o o o

Upholstered furniture in drawing rooms, Cushions and spreads in bedrooms, Runners and covers in the dining halls,

o
o o

The draperies in the kitchens,

Bathrooms to the curtains, tapestries , Other 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

cost is Low

is high

Handling
Resistant

is easy
to weather type is high

Harm
Easily

is less
replaceable & Repairable

Light

in weight
moldable

Easily

Non

conductive

Textile architecture can be applied at

Commercial buildings Urban design projects Park and landscape design locations

Sports and leisure facilities

Structures for special events Tourism and catering facilities

NEWLY INVENTED MATERIALS IN TEXTILE ARCHITECTURE

Prcontraint Coated Fabric

Polyvinylidene Fluoride Coated Fabric - PVDF

Ethelyne Tetrafluoroethylene ETFE Aerolite Fabric Tensotherm-nanogel

WHAT IS FERRARI Prcontraint COATED FABRIC?

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

warp and weft directions through out the manufacturing

process.

A layer of high performance surface polymers, thicker over the surface of the yarns.

A dirt resistant surface treatment.

Applications

Exterior Architecture Permanent Tensile Membrane Structures

Lightweight Tensile Membrane Structures

Facade Solutions

Interior Architecture
Solar Protection

Tents & Marquees

Furniture

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.

Durability
o

Durability of the coated fabric depends on the thickness of the coating layer at the top of the yarn.

Greater coating thickness

Allows light weight fabric Greater thickness over the yarn Longer life due to added yarn protection from UV and other environmental conditions.
