Can Tension Structures Take the Pressure?

This week’s quiz is from Tensile architecture: Where substance meets style. Once seen as niche or temporary solutions, tensile structures have evolved into high-performance architectural systems—thanks to advances in membrane materials, cable technology, and digital design tools. From stadiums to transit hubs, these lightweight, visually striking structures are redefining what’s possible in modern construction. Read on, then take the quiz to test your technical knowledge of this innovative building approach.
