Amphitheater Seating Tensile Structure

Installed on 18th Floor Terrace and used as a Seating area for Amphitheater, this Barrel Vault Tensile Structure represent the perfect union of art and engineering. They represent spatial structures of a minimalist character. Their form is curved but neat, and the details are either completely eliminated or significantly reduced. These spatial structures are exceptionally lightweight, both in terms of their actual weight and visual manifestation. The shape of a tensile structure obtains another visual level when shadows appear on it, since the play of light and shadows on a curved surface has a dramatic effect. Even though the form of the tensile structure appears to be its greatest advantage in an aesthetic sense, it does not require any forced structural solutions, but is itself the only necessary element for the stability of the structure.
