Abstract

The textile architectures or tenso-structures are defined as light constructions capable of having mobility – when designed to lack the intrinsic permanence of conventional constructions – or of possessing movable parts. As in industrialized or prefabricated works, these constructions are executed in assembly and installation stages. This increases the adherence to transportable products, which may contain moving parts. Due to these characteristics and in view of the previous identification of the diversity of architectural solutions, in this article, project possibilities of mobility of construction parts are presented by means of illustrations, with the objective of furnishing a repertoire of practices and the means of exploiting condition of lightness and adherence of tenso-structures and textile architectures in transformable spaces.
