−	A tensile structure is a structure that is stabilised by tension rather than compression. ~~For example~~, a piece of fabric pulled in opposite directions.	+	A tensile structure is a structure that is stabilised by tension rather than compression. The tension can be in one linear direction via cables or rods, such as with a suspension bridge or in a number of linear directions via the same such is found in tensegrity structural systems. Today possible the most common known form of tensile structures are fabric such as canopies where a piece of fabric is pulled in one or many opposite directions.

		+	Conventional structures tend to be stabilised by the action of gravity on their mass holding them in compression whilst tensile structures are stabilised by tension rather than compression as shown below.

−	Tensioning, is usually achieved with wire or cable, opposed by compression elements such as masts, and held in place by foundations, ring beams, ground anchors and so on. Tensioning can also be achieved through inflation.	+	Tensioning, is usually achieved with wire or cable, opposed by compression elements such as masts, and held in place by foundations, ring beams, ground anchors and so on. Tensioning can also be achieved through inflation and some gridshell structures, might be considered to act in tension (but not all), even timber structures using more flexble green oak have been erected and fixed in tension.

		+	Frei Otto is possibly most associated with tensile structures, in particular the German Pavilion built for the Montreal Expo in Canada of 1967 (the same exhibition included the Buckminster Fuller Biosphere geodesic dome), in 1972 the architect built the huge plexi glass clad cable net structure of the Munich Olympic Stadium. This was a significantly scaled and permenant construction containing 271 miles of steel cabling, attached to fifty-eight cast steel pylons, which supported a curving roof canopy that covered almost 75,000 square meters. Other projects that may be considered as tensile gridhshells come from his collaboration with Shigeru Ban on the Japanese Pavilion at Expo building in 2000.

		+	Millennium Dome (known as 'the Dome') is a fabric clad, cable net structure in Greenwich, London that was opened in 2000 as the centrepiece of the UK’s millennium celebrations, which ran from 31 December 1999 to 31 December 2000. It was designed by the Architect’s Richard Rogers (now Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners) with engineers Buro Happold as simple proposed the idea of covering the site with a large fabric dome, to create the shelter for a year long celebration that would open and close in the winter. The Dome is neither a true dome, nor a conventional fabric structure, but a cable net structure, clad with flat PTFE coated glass fibre fabric panels with two layers to provide insulative qualities.
