Fabric architecture was pioneered approx. 50 years ago mainly by Prof. Frei Otto and has since become a popular and established method of construction. Fabric tensile structures are distinguished by their elegance and airiness, which result in outstanding designs.
Tensile, fabric canopies are by no means only suitable for temporary structures. They are fully fledged constructions that are able to withstand adverse weather conditions such as wind and snow. The double-curved organic design is not just functional, it also gives fabric structures their unique appearance. Form, structure and details are closely intertwined. The desire for architectural authenticity is almost automatically fulfilled – the loadbearing structure defines a canopy's overall appearance; details have both a structural and design function.
The 3dtex GmbH specialises in the design and realisation of such entities encompassing structure, design and functionality.
3dtex offers its clients the full range of services from the first sketch through to the finished structure, at a guaranteed fixed price.
To carry out the various phases of the project, 3dtex works with a network of specialists, including membrane manufacturers, specialised engineers, material science laboratories and trained industrial climbers.
At 3dtex GmbH it all comes together. As an expert in its field, 3dtex guarantees the smooth running of a project from a technical, creative and financial perspective, as well as its on-schedule completion.
