Building with ropes and membranes allows for the design of structures with high acceptance. However, working with these pre-tensioned constructions is still not among the commonly known building methods. This book comprehensively presents and organizes the specifics, such as the kinematics of the load-bearing structures, the determination of shapes using equilibrium conditions, the cutting process, the nonlinear behavior of the load-bearing systems and materials, as well as the constructive design of tension-stressed components.
