“Fabric formwork uses a flexible textile membrane in place of the rigid ofrmwork panels usually used in concrete construction. When wet concrete is contained by a thin formwork membrane, the flexible fabric container naturally deflects into a repertoir of precise tension geometries. This produces naturally efficient structural curves, unprecedented sculptural forms, and extraordinary surface finishes.
Fabric formworks can be used to form columns, walls, beams, slabs and panels in both precast and in-situ construction. It has significant potential for construction and engineering technology in both advanced and basic building economies.
From a sculptural/architectural perspective, the use of flexible formworks awaken concrete to its fluid origins, introducing a new horizon for architectural form and expression. “
