Future tents limited (ftl) architects

Todd Dalland and Nicholas Goldsmith of New York based FTL architects and engineers, lead a multidisciplinary design practice that is intimately involved in the development of tensile architectural forms. With over a thousand projects created during a twenty-year period, their work is at the forefront of establishing new design possibilities that merge traditional and innovative technological strategies to find beautiful and appropriate solutions for a wide range of building types. FTL have consistently stretched the boundaries of architectural development, blurring the line between design and research, in creating building forms that provide a tantalising glimpse of the future. The architecture described in this monograph is a potent example of what can be achieved with the sensitive manipulation of lightweight forms.
