In the case of tension fabric buildings, there exists the unique potential for miscommunication while even just considering whether a fabric structure is the right architectural choice in the first place. For many, the term “fabric building” carries negative connotations of being a cheap or temporary option.

Tension fabric structures have served a key role as a cost-effective facility solution for years. In some cases, users have turned to fabric buildings when brick-and-mortar construction is not economically feasible or would take too long to complete. The fabric building market remained stable, but also stagnant, for a long time.

Even experience in extensive design in academic context can provide only limited perspective in engineering decision making. Most lessons in engineering decision making come from the cases of histories of failures of structures, which itself are the results of a bad judgement, thus making us understand the pitfalls in conceptual design.
