FIFA FanZone Wins Award!
Fan Zone wins ‘Innovative Solution of the Year’ Award
“Created to test and showcase a scale model of one of the cooling technologies which will be used at the 2022 FIFA World Cup Qatar™, partially at the proposed host venues and mainly for open air public gatherings, the open-air fan zone allowed football fans in Qatar to watch 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil™ matches at a temperature on average 12 degrees Celsius lower inside than outside.” SC
Our solution featured a large-scale retractable roof system with integrated climate control.

Chandos Fabric Roof
Fabric Architecture awarded Chandos Lawn Tennis Club fabric roof contract
Carrying forward the initial scheme design by Hopkins architects and Arup, Fabric Architecture’s in-house Design & Engineering Team have worked with Barr’s Structural Engineers to design foundations for the 2000sqm PVC and ETFE hybrid fabric roof structure, consisting of 64 tonnes of tri-cord steel truss frame and over 3000sqm of tensile fabric.
Each fabric tensile structure is designed and engineered to the specific project requirements and criteria. The process is a continual exchange of ideas between Fabric Architecture and the customer, to ensure a seamless delivery of the end result.
This high-end leisure facility is the latest in a growing portfolio of large-scale, clear-span sports & leisure projects by Fabric Architecture. Installation began on site in early 2015 and completion is scheduled for August 2015.
We will be running a 'Watch it Unfold' series on our News Blog about this project. Stay tuned!
Dubai interior project
Rob Arthur, General Manager of Fabric Architecture Middle East (FAME), will now follow the multi-million INTERIOR project from the company’s new Dubai-based UAE office providing a vital local interface between the UK design and engineering team and our crew on the ground.
Awarded by one of the country’s main government organisations, this high-end, large-scale interior application uses a unique combination of products and technologies, notably a Japanese pearlescent tensile fabric, new to the industry.
Working above a 60m void, skilled rigging and installation teams will work day and night shifts to carry out their work in a complex environment, completing the final project later in 2015.
