Abstract

Tensile fabric structures offer possibilities for the solution of urban problems which no other type of structure permits. In the Expo Zaragoza 2008 site (Saragossa, Spain) we have designed a 400 metre-long structure that has turned out to be one of leading attractions of the event. It consists of thirteen pieces of torical surface that twist and turn at a height of 17 metres, taking on the appearance of a river. Technically, it includes some advances in structural geometry that are described in this paper. Artistically, it stands out due to its formal decoration.
