Tensile structures are the most sophisticated lightweight constructions at the moment. Aside from their extremely low self-weight, they are distinguished by a double curved shape with a negative Gaussian curvature. Furthermore, because this is one of the most recent structural systems to be constructed, much study work is currently being done on its improvement. This paper will provide a high-level overview of the evolution of tensile constructions. Their most recent sub-type, membrane structures, was studied in more depth. This system's features, loading, and structural material were also investigated. This structural system's shape is given special consideration. Tensile structures are becoming more popular due to their light weight, structural efficiency, serviceability, attractive appearance, ease of installation and disassembly, climate control effects, and low maintenance costs. To eliminate compressive pressures in these structures, they are pre-tensioned or pre-stressed, which means tensile stresses are built up in the surface to the point where they are stable even after external loads are applied. The lightweight nature of membrane is a cost-effective alternative that requires less structural steel to support the roof than other traditional construction materials, allowing for extended spans of column free areas. The applications of tensile structures are compared to various space frame structures in this study.
