Episode #3 - Sustainability and comfort: How does membrane architecture fits today’s challenges in the built environment?

In this episode, Carol Monticelli,Architect and professor at the Milan Polytechnic, and Ramon Sastre, Professor at the Catalan University of Political Science shed light on a new theme: Sustainability and Comfort for tensile architecture. Over the last few decades, comfort and sustainability have become two of the main issues in architecture. Although architectural membranes are a relatively young field compared to conventional construction methods, more and more engineers and architects are taking this option into account to meet new building requirements.
