Project Details

Fabric 1

Serge Ferrari
Producer/Manufacturer: QCD Ltd.
Primary Use: Main Fabric

Please describe the project specifications

The client wanted a structure that would not conform to the standard barrel roll type. Instead, they were looking for a design that is more visually engaging and aesthetically pleasing. The goal was to create a landmark that would draw attention and evoke interest, while also serving its intended functional purpose.

While aesthetics were a primary focus, the structure also needed to meet functional requirements. This included considerations for space usage, accessibility, and durability.

What is unique or complex about the project?

I was drawn to this fabric structure project because it presented an opportunity to work on a custom architectural design, which is something I find incredibly exciting. Unlike the standard rolled canopy structures I've worked on in the past, this project allowed for greater creativity and innovation in both design and functionality.

Engaging in a project that pushes the boundaries of conventional design practices has been invigorating, providing a platform to explore new techniques that are not typically employed in standard canopy construction.

Ultimately, the uniqueness of this project lies in its fusion of artistic vision and practical application, creating a structure that is not only visually stunning but also highly functional and responsive to its surroundings.
