A tensile structure is a type of architectural design that relies on tension to support its form and load. These structures are typically made from flexible materials such as fabric or cables, which are held in place by a framework. The key characteristic is that the structural elements are pulled rather than pushed, allowing for lightweight and often aesthetically striking designs. Common examples include tensile fabric canopies, tensioned membranes, and cable-stayed bridges. These structures are known for their efficiency, versatility, and ability to create large, unobstructed spaces.
