Modern architecture from traditional materials
Technical textiles offer numerous possibilities for the building industry, from the fibers in composite materials to fabric components, to whole textile structures. Architectural fabrics made from PVC, coated polyester, or fiberglass allow a temporary method of construction such as shelter to house victims of catastrophes, or attendees at mega-events. But architectural textiles enable architects to realize many specific and unique buildings and constructions due to their flexibility and forming attitudes. Architectural textiles are high-performance fabrics that offer high translucencies while being UV and weather resistant. These are the main reasons why a number of architects choose fabrics as roofing material for airports, sport stadium, courtyards, or shopping malls. Technical textiles offer the possibility of an almost free-style spanning method and do not require complex and sight-obstructing stone walls or concrete piles. The majority of architectural textiles are PVC-coated polyester fabrics which are appropriate for mechanically and pneumatically pre-stressed construction. The latest textile material for architectural use is a fabric made from high strength double-coated fluoropolymer from W.L. Gore, a material completely waterproof and weldable, offering high transmission, great flexibility, and long life due to its resistance to mold and mildew, UV-rays, acid rain and salt. A new development in textile coating may end unwanted heating effects of architectural textiles. The companies of Verseidag and Seybold have collaborated to introduce a technical textile with an inner low-e layer, a special coating providing an effective reflection against IR waves. The low-e coating is not only important for textile roofing, but is a strong argument for sun- and sight-protective textiles as well. The University of Dresden introduced translucent concrete blocks made from functional, polymerotical fibers incorporated into three centimeter-thick concrete blocks. The latest research from RWTH-University in Aix-la-Chapelle demonstrated that coating commercial glass-rovings with a special water-free cement-in-polymer dispersion helps to overcome problems of textile reinforced concrete.
