Student competition

In 2011 the international TensiNet association and Techtextil held the 11th Student Competition on 'Textile Structures for New Building.'

This competition is designed to identify innovative thinking and innovative solutions to problems, featuring construction projects capable of concrete realisation which use textiles or textile-reinforced materials. A further aim is to encourage students and new entrants to the professions. The competition is further intended to strengthen contacts between the younger generation, the universities, the technical-textiles industry and broad sections of the building industry.

The competition will be run under the professional and technical supervision of Prof. Dr. Dr. E.h. Werner Sobek, Institute of Light Construction Design and Building (ILEK), University of Stuttgart.
