Reinforced Fabrics: 1 Profile – 1 Building

After years of research, architect Paloma Cañizares presents her second study exploring the architectural possibilities of rigidized textiles. Using a full-scale tent built from a single six-meter-long sheet of rigidized fabric, she demonstrates an alternative way of building—one based on a light, slender, stable, stackable, easy-to-handle, and waterproof profile. This single element can act as a beam, column, footing, joist, slab, or floor panel.
