Discusses tension structures that are predominantly roofing forms, created from pre-stressed cable nets, cable trusses and continuous membranes. This book discusses the role of stable minimal surfaces, in finding optimal shapes of membrane and cable structures. It also presents numerical modelling of the structural form. «
