Current Situation and Solution: Geodesic Dome – Optimizing Multi-purpose Space
In the context of modern architecture, the demand for flexible, sustainable, and adaptable spatial solutions for a variety of terrain conditions and purposes is increasing. Traditional structures often face limitations in terms of cost, construction time, and mobility, as well as potential negative impacts on the environment. To address these challenges, tensile fabric domes have emerged as a breakthrough solution. This is a thin-shell hemispherical structure based on geodesic polyhedrons, with rigidly connected triangular elements that transfer the load to the foundation in turn, giving the dome the ability to withstand large loads compared to its size, while providing high aesthetics and uniqueness in design.

Technical Requirements Analysis & Solution Context
Projects that require large coverage areas while maintaining flexibility, mobility and minimal environmental impact are facing complex technical requirements. A structure that can withstand all terrain and weather conditions, while ensuring reasonable construction costs and optimizing maintenance costs, is required. In particular, for temporary structures for events, exhibitions, or structures located in nature reserves, the solution must be environmentally friendly and easy to install, dismantle and reuse. The context requires a solution that effectively combines functionality, durability and unique aesthetics, creating an architectural highlight.

Tension dome house is a unique creation in tensioned fabric architecture, possessing many superior features compared to other traditional structural frames and materials.
Classification and Flexibility in Forming
With flexible structure and diverse materials, the architectural dome structure offers many design options depending on the coverage width of the dome-shaped canvas frame. This ensures both aesthetics and necessary covering functions, suitable for all spaces and purposes.
Outstanding Advantages of Tensioned Canvas Dome House
- Durability and Cost Savings: With specialized canvas materials researched and processed by skilled engineers, along with meticulous structural design calculations before construction, the structure of the dome-shaped canvas house has a durability of up to 20 years, committed to helping investors save significant maintenance and replacement costs.
- Environmental Adaptation: Geodesic Domes have many superior features, helping them cope with all terrain and weather conditions. The structural layers combine to create a product with effective heat insulation and soundproofing capabilities.
- Versatile application: This structure can be used for small and medium-sized projects such as libraries, temporary book stalls for community events held annually in big cities such as Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, Can Tho, Da Nang. Tension domes can also be combined with sound and lighting systems, used as a theater with many unique effects, serving performances in tourist cities such as Nha Trang, Phu Quoc, Hai Phong. An unexpected application is that this structure is also used for mountain houses because of its flexibility and compactness.
- Environmentally friendly: Investors can use them in nature reserves without fear of causing negative impacts on the environment like other traditional materials.
- Economic and aesthetic efficiency: With reasonable construction costs, the sturdy spherical structure helps to cope with all terrain and weather conditions, the structural layers combine to create a product with the ability to insulate and soundproof. Tensioned canvas domes have truly become and will become one of the optimal construction solutions for projects in many different fields, and have been applied by many countries in a variety of spaces such as libraries, museums, and exhibition rooms. This is a highly aesthetic project, unique in design and application, helping the space to be covered with a new coat, bringing interesting experiences to architecture lovers.
