TENSINET as INTERNATIONAL NON-PROFIT ASSOCIATION

The idea of TensiNet became reality in 1999 as a proposal for a European research project, which ran till 2004.

TensiNet continued the established network of experts of our industry under the wings of Vrije Universiteit Brussel.

Last year we decided to get on our own feet, and to transform TensiNet into an international non-profit association (INPA).

Recently, with a delay due to COVID-19, the deed was signed at the notary!

Architect Katja Bernert from Mehler Texnologies gave a lecture on The potential of fabric façades at the same conference. Showing that already today fabric façades are much more than just a textile wrap for a building.
