Abstract

This paper will thoroughly investigate the use and opportunities of tensile architecture, which can be applied in rain, wind, heat, daylight issues in the architecture of Bangladesh. As Bangladesh laid on Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ), the built form of this region prefers an open-type structure. Humidity and temperature always become an issue in this region due to the tropical monsoon climate of Bangladesh. These issues of environment follow the traditional Bengal architecture pattern. Furthermore, the contemporary architecture of Bangladesh respectively follows these significant characteristics of tropical monsoon climate. On the other side, Tensile Membrane Structure (TMS) has qualities to hold large spans, lightweight, translucency, aesthetic value, and flexibility. TMS and the traditional hut system of Bengal can be said as complementary to each other in this tropical monsoon climate of Bangladesh. Tensile membrane structure can be that element of contemporary architecture that can be adopted in this climate by satisfying all the primary issues of the tropical monsoon climate of Bangladesh. Tensile structure can be designed as lightweight roof shade, which is more similar with “Bengal hut” pattern of Bangladesh.
