Metal frame supported tensile structure
THE CITY PLACE
Eide Industries Inc.
The material used for the membrane was W.L. Gore’s Tenara 4T20 Architectural Fabric. This elegant fabric has the highest light transmission ratio per strength on the market. Its strength is inherited from the ePTFE scrim and its opaqueness is a function of the Fluoropolymer coating. The City of West Palm Beach wanted nothing but the best.
The fabric patterning was created in house at Eide Industries by using the latest form finding software solutions in our Engineering department. Once the pattern shapes were identified, we defined the perimeters of each pattern by custom tailoring each panel right on the finished frame.
