    The document describes a tensile fabric structure located at Sky Song ASU in Scottsdale, Arizona. It was designed by Henry Cobb of Pei Cobb Freed & Partners and constructed in 2006. The structure features a steel frame that supports eight conical sections covered with 50,000 square feet of Teflon-coated fiberglass fabric. Tension cables and the high tensile strength of the materials allow the structure to withstand environmental loads.

    About The Structure:
    PROJECT DATA

    Architect: Henry N. Cobb (Pei Cobb Freed & Partners) and AECOM
    Built: 7006
    Location: Scottsdale, Arizona, US
    Material: Teflon-coated fibreglass (PTFE) and Steel cables
    Geometry: Hyperboloids
    Design process: Digital form-finding (NDN Software)

    Project description:

    Sky Song ASU: The Scottsdale Innovation Center was built an the site of the former
    Los Arcos Mall in Scottsdale, Arizona.

    SkySong is a mixed-use, 5.2 million dollar project consisting of 1.2million square


    feet of office, research, and retail space. It also includes o hotel /conference center
    and multi-family residential units.”

    The frame consists of eight steel structures reaching 111 feet in length.
    These steel “legs” weigh about 2.400 pounds each.
    The structure peaks at on impressive 125 feet in the air.
    The frame supports eight integrated conical-shaped pieces covered with 50,000
    square feet of Teflon-coated fiberglass (PTFE) material.
    The fabric will be able to withstand 650 pounds of force per square inch once all
    the connection adjustments hove been mode.
    Construction Process :

    STEP 1:
    Steel trusses are fabricated in the steel fabrication plant. The
    trusses are used to connect the edges of the fabric membrane.

    STEP 2:
    The frame consists of eight steel structures reaching 111 feet in
    length. These steel “legs” are constructed onsite followed by the
    steel trusses.

    STEP 3:
    Conical-shaped pieces are supported by the frame which will be
    covered with the Teflon-costed fiberglass(PTFE) material using the
    crane.

    STEP 4:
    The conical pieces are secured to the rings of the frame structure STEP 5:
    and the fabric is assembled piece-by-piece once the skeleton Then the fabric is adjusted and secured to
    structure is constructed. Then the fabric is adjusted and secured withstand forces. Once there is tension and

    TENSILE FORCES:

    CABLES:
    Tension forces of the cables are responsible to hold the steel
    structure and membrane in place.

    MEMBRANES:
    High tensile strength of PTFE fabric allow it to resist
    environmental load and distribute the tensile stresses through it:
    own form. The highpoints overcome the rein and snow acting
    downward, while the low points resist the uplift of wind.

    COMPRESSION FORCES:
    Cables that hold the membrane end trusses are connected to
    the top of the mast: to evenly dissipate the compressive forces.
    High compressive strength of the steel masts allow them to
    reset the compressive force.

    TENSILE STRESSES:
    High tension force acting on the membrane to form the conical
    shape at the top end bottom ring, causing higher internal
    reaction forces, hence, higher distribution of internal stresses at
    ENVIRONMENTAL LOAD: that region.
    Openings provided by the bale rings end trusses allow
    precipitations to drain off, reducing weight acting on the DEAD LOAD:
    structure, and slow wind to pass through, reducing uplift. Weight of the membrane, bale rings, end trusses are supported
    High tensile strength of the cable end membrane so help by masts.
    to overcome the environmental load.
    Materials: Structural Systems:
    Teflon-Coated Fiberglass (PTFE) - it’s the most Mast-supported Tensile Membrane Structure
    durable membrane used in tensile fabric structure,
    highly elastic, flexible and does not significantly The structural system of Sky song shade structure consists of 4 A-

    degradation and has long life span, hence, and a pair of bale ring at the top end bottom of the masts, forming a

    Stainless Steel - Most of the structure is made of

    corrosion properties allow the structure to have a
    longer life span.

    Pedestrianisation And Sociability In Las Cabezas De San Juan, Seville

    Location : SPAIN - SEVILLE


    Project period : 2016-completed
    Designer : SARA TAVARES COSTA
    Total cost : 184.000 €
    Area surface : 2300 m2
    • Site is located in Seville city and Seville
    is the capital and largest city of the
    Spanish autonomous community of
    Andalusia and the province of Seville.

    • It is situated on the lower reaches of the


    River Guadalquivir, in the southwest of
    the Iberian Peninsula.

    Site Plan –Seville, Spain

    • The project aims to unify several disperse public spaces generated by the intensive flow of traffic.
    • The reduction of the section of the road and the single level roadway and pavement that, combined with the pedestrianisation of the Juan
    Marín de Vargas shopping street, allows us to understand the various squares as a single, continuous urban unit, one which is a more
    spacious and livable area.
    • The proposed trees along with
    the existing ones and the
    awnings, which act as inviting
    thresholds to the different
    areas, reinforce the existing
    activity thus creating an optimal
    urban area.

    • New trees will be added to the


    existing ones.

    • Care has been taken to ensure


    that the new trees are native to
    the area.

    • These trees will line the


    pedestrian areas and will be
    organized by species, thus
    creating new, clearly
    recognizable, socialization
    zones.
    • A system of canopies built using a structure of tension cables and made of micro-
    perforated canvas widens the use of the mártires del pueblo square at the hottest times
    during the summer.
    • This system allows for the removal of all or part of the canopies in winter.
    • To organize these spaces, we used a simple linear geometric design in the pavement, which is systematically repeated in different angles and directions and which acts as a
    unifying pattern.

    • The treatment will be prefabricated pieces of concrete and granite cobblestone.
