The City Place Project in West Palm Beach
is an anticlastic (saddle shaped) stage cover
located in West Palm Beach, FL. Eide
Industries was tasked with creating a wrinkle
free and water tight membrane to cover the
stage’s 600 square foot performance area.
The material used for the membrane was W.L.
Gore’s Tenara 4T20 Architectural Fabric. This
elegant fabric has the highest light
transmission ratio per strength on the market.
Its strength is inherited from the ePTFE scrim
and its opaqueness is a function of the
Fluoropolymer coating. The City of West Palm
Beach wanted nothing but the best.
The fabric patterning was created in house at
Eide Industries by using the latest form finding
software solutions in our Engineering
department. Once the pattern shapes were
identified, we defined the perimeters of each
pattern by custom tailoring each panel right on
the finished frame.
With the guidance of Eide’s hand-on fabrication
guru, the membrane installed beautifully,
leaving the customer and community with a
structure worth appreciating for decades. |
