Sumario:The article focuses on a course designed to educate participants about incorporating membrane systems into architectural practice. It defines a membrane system as a lightweight, flexible material that is prestressed to create a reliable structure for coverage or screening, contributing to unique architectural designs. The course aims to teach participants about available materials, the benefits of membrane architecture, the phases of architectural design where membranes can be integrated, and the design-build construction process for these structures. Participants can earn continuing education credits by completing the course and passing a quiz.
