| Date Issued | March 2007 |
| Abstract | Exposition and Convention Centers (ECC) serve as settings for convergence, interaction, sharing and commerce. The structure itself is however prone to many architectural inefficiencies. It is theorized that the utilization of Tensile Architectural Systems may be able to address these flaws, and allow the structure to function more effectively. Part 1 tackles the basic problem how tensile systems make exposition structures more efficient. Part 2 gives the setting for the thesis, sets the delimitations for the problem, and gives the definition of terms. Assumptions to be made in the design of the structure, significance of the study and the thesis' theoretical framework are also given in this part. Part 3 shares reviews of literature related to the thesis, sources of inspiration and information. Part 4 recounts the methodology of how the research is to be conducted. It gives the basic design of the research and the plan for the specific tactics and methods to be undertaken. Part 5 shares the space programming used as a guide in the process of designing the structure. Spaces may have changed, combined or disappeared altogether as a result of design development. Part 6 gives the conceptual analysis, where the concepts and ideas that the structure is built around are enumerated. Part 7 discusses the site analysis and physical setting of the thesis, as a precursor to design translation. Part 8 is the design translation, which would include site development, zoning, facade, structural system, and the schematic erection process. Part 9 tackles the cost of the structure was made from estimates, considering standard costs as well as the cost of the technology of tensile membranes. Part 10 is the appendix, which gives important information considered in the design. Lastly, the part 11 gives one the bibliography of books, printed materials, internet sources, and interviews made relevant to the thesis. |
