Abstract

As Bangladesh laid on Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ), built form of this region prefer open type structure. Humidity and temperature always become an issue in this region due to tropical monsoon climate of Bangladesh. The traditional Bengal architecture pattern is followed by these issues of climate. Furthermore, the contemporary architecture of Bangladesh respectively follows these significant characteristics of tropical monsoon climate. On the other side, Tensile Membrane Structure (TMS) has qualities to hold large spans, lightweight, translucency, aesthetic value and flexibility. TMS and traditional hut system of Bengal can be said ascomplementary to each other in this tropical monsoon climate of Bangladesh. Tensile membrane structure can be that element of contemporary architecture which can be adopted in this climate by satisfying all the primary issues of tropical monsoon climate of Bangladesh. Tensile structure can be designed as light weight roof shade which is more similar with "Bengal hut" pattern of Bangladesh. This paper will thoroughly investigate the use and opportunities of tensile architecture which can be applied in rain, wind, heat, daylight issues in architecture of Bangladesh.
