Abstract

In contemporary architecture, textile membranes offer a wide range of possible structural applications. Textile membranes are very efficient; especially for facades and roofs with large spans and where the reduction of self-weight plays an important role for an efficient and sustainable structural design. On 30^th November 2021, the Al Bayt Stadium was inaugurated in Qatar; with its 190,000 m² of textile membrane it is one of the biggest architectural membrane projects in the world. An innovative new membrane material with a natural textile appearance has been developed from scratch to meet the specific requirements of the project. This makes the construction of Al Bayt Stadium, shaped like the local Bedouin tents, a milestone in modern membrane architecture; this is not only due to the pure size of the membrane but also due to the significant advances made in textile membrane material design and development in the project. In addition, other design aspects include the large retractable roof above the field of play that transform the open-air stadium into a fully enclosed and temperature controlled multipurpose arena within minutes - allowing for a wide range of possible usage options of the stadium but also to enhance a sustainable cooling strategy of a large venue with outside temperatures of up to 50°C. This paper presents details on the design and construction aspects of the stadium as well as the material development conducted for the inner membrane.

2022 年卡塔尔世界杯的工程遗产TM：Al Bayt 体育场--美丽比赛的传统帐篷

在现代建筑中，纺织膜提供了多种可能的结构应用。纺织膜非常高效，尤其适用于大跨度的外墙和屋顶，减少自重对于高效和可持续的结构设计具有重要作用。2021 年 11 月 30 日，Al Bayt 体育场在卡塔尔落成，其 190,000 平方米的纺织膜是世界上最大的建筑膜项目之一。为了满足该项目的特殊要求，我们从零开始开发了一种具有天然纺织品外观的创新型新型膜材料。这使得外形酷似当地贝都因人帐篷的 Al Bayt 体育场成为现代膜建筑的一个里程碑；这不仅是因为膜的纯粹尺寸，还因为该项目在纺织膜材料的设计和开发方面取得了重大进展。此外，其他设计方面还包括比赛场地上方的大型可伸缩顶棚，可在几分钟内将露天体育场转变为一个全封闭、温度可控的多功能场馆--这不仅为体育场提供了多种可能的使用选择，还加强了室外温度高达 50°C 的大型场馆的可持续冷却战略。本文详细介绍了体育场的设计和建造方面，以及内膜材料的开发情况。
