Why Are More Commercial Buildings Choosing ETFE Tensile Membrane Structures?
In the push for sustainable design, energy efficiency, and enhanced spatial quality, more and more commercial buildings are turning to ETFE tensile membrane structures.These systems are transforming retail centers, exhibition halls, and mixed-use developments with their lightness, transparency, and durability. A recent project by Skytensile showcases this trend — a rooftop membrane system for China’s […]
Why Are More and More Stadiums Using PTFE?
Across the world, more and more stadiums and sports facilities are turning to PTFE tensile membrane structures for their roofing systems.From school sports halls to large public arenas, PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) has become the material of choice in modern tensile fabric architecture. One recent example is our completed project at Hainan New Silk Road Vocational College […]

Switzerland Pavilion at Expo 2025 Osaka
❇️ The Switzerland Pavilion, designed by Manuel Herz Architekten, is recognized as one of the lightest and most environmentally sustainable pavilions at Expo 2025 Osaka. The structure is composed of five interlocking air-inflated spheres, each maintained at a different internal pressure. These spheres form a lightweight architecture realized through a dual-layer pneumatic membrane system combining […]
ETFE aesthetic architecture
The design seamlessly integrates aesthetic appeal with structural concepts, concealing their contradictions within the final construction. The pavilion’s façade combines texture and structural form, creating an interlaced grid framework filled with ETFE membranes serving as the building’s envelope. Based on the characteristics of the shell structure, the exterior is divided into numerous diamond-shaped units, each […]
What is an Air-Supported Sports Hall?
An air-supported sports hall is a fully enclosed facility whose exterior is constructed using high-strength, highly flexible membrane materials—commonly classified as tensile membranes or structure membranes—that form a key part of modern fabric structure systems. This building is entirely supported by air; it utilizes the differential between internal and external air pressures to create a […]
