RAFS (ROLLABLE ARCHED FABRIC STRUCTURE ITERATIONS
MOSQUITO QUARANTINE ZONE: PLACING ABOVE A STAGNANT BODY OF WATER.
RESUABILITY, MOVABILITY, CUSTOMIZABILITY, LONGEVITY, AND ADAPTABILITY IS KEY. DIFFERENT ITERATIONS CAN YIELD ANY DESIRED FUNCTION.
BASE STRUCTURE - INVENTION:
CUSTOMIZEABLE ELEMENTS:
INSPIRED BY STEALTH FORM:
ATTACHMENTS:
THE BASE STRUCTURE ABOVE IS THE FOUNDATIONAL ELEMENT OF THE BACKBONE DESIGN. THE FABRIC IS SUPPORTED BY A STEEL ARCH WITH MULTIPLE STEEL COMPONENTS AND PROFILE TO ENCOURAGE CUSTOMIZEABILITY OF TENSIONING OF THE FABRIC FOR STABILITY AND SPAN. THE STRUCTURE CAN ALSO MOVE USING CASTERS WITH LEVELING ADJUSTMENT.
SIGNS CAN BE PLACED ABOVE STRUCTURE TO INDICATE ITS PURPOSE. THIS DESIGN SUPPORTS THE FLEXIBILITY FOR ANY TYPES OF ATTACHMENTS NEEDED FOR A PROJECT BY USING THE BASE STRUCTURE AS THE CANVAS.
WITH THE POTENTIALITY OF FABRIC, COMPLEX ANTICLASTIC FORMS CAN BE UTILIZED. DAYLIGHT PENETRATION IS ANOTHER PRIMARY ADVANTAGE OF FABRIC UTILIZATION. FINALLY, THE LIGHTNESS OF FABRIC EASES MOVEABILITY.

THE BASE STRUCTURE INCLUDES: 1.) A REMOVEABLE PARTITION FABRIC LOCATED IN THE CENTER. 2.) PIVOTABLE REMOVEABLE STAKES ARE INCLUDED FOR STABILITY. 3.) EXTENDEABLE STEEL CONNECTORS FOR SPAN CUSTOMIZATION. 4.) AN ARCH SUPPORT FOR THE FABRIC TO REST. 5.) CASTER WHEELS, FOR MOVEABILITY WITH BRAKES AND OVERTURNING RESISTANT BLOCKS (IF PLACED IN A SLOPE TO PREVENT OVERTURNING.)
EXAMPLE:
LABORATORY
HOUSING
HYDROPONICS
SECURITY
SLOPE PLACEMENT: RAFS - ROLLABLE ARCHED FABRIC STRUCTURE
THE BACKBONE STRUCTURE CAN BE PLACED IN SLOPED CONDITIONS BY ADJUSTING THE HEIGHT OF THE CASTERS AND ATTACHING THE OVERTURN STABILIZER; FINALLY, ANGLING THE SPIKES AT ITS STABILIZING ANGLES.
