The textile membranes typically used in architecture are coated fabric... The design of a building having textile membrane components is somewhat special : it cannot be done by an architect alone. Because the shaping of the overall form means creating a double curved surface which is under tension in all loadcases. A surface with constant thickness, necessarily loaded with homogenious stress fields.... 1, record 3, English, - constant%20thickness
