Membrane structure landscape Membrane structure buildings in the world appeared in the 1970 Osaka World Expo. Since then, membrane structure buildings have been greatly developed. Membrane structure is a space structure form that combines buildings and structures by combining high-strength flexible membrane materials and support systems to form a stable surface with a certain rigidity and can withstand certain external loads.
Membrane structure landscape is free and light in shape, flame retardant, simple in production, fast in installation and energy saving, and many advantages make it widely used around the world. This structure is used in our common stadiums and convention venues. Its debut is the United States Pavilion at the World Expo.
The membrane structure landscape is designed by David Geiger. It is an air supported membrane structure. From the strict concept of structural mechanics, it is the early representative of membrane structure and inflatable membrane structure in the world. Its plane is an oval indoor inflatable structure of 140 meters * 83.5 meters. The membrane material is glass fiber coated with PVC coating products, which is designed by Japanese architect Kawaguchi. It is an inflatable beam arch structure. Its plane is a circular structure with a diameter of 50 meters. It is fixed together by 16 inflatable pipe arches with a diameter of 3.3 meters and a height of 72 meters through circular reinforced concrete ring beams, The pipe arches are then fixed to each other by a circular horizontal belt 0.5 meters wide. It is from this World Expo that the membrane structure has experienced full development and change. It can be said that the Osaka World Expo is really a great contribution.
