Design Awards Article Count: 1
The LSAA Design Awards are the Industry Premier Awards in the fields of lightweight structures and tensioned membrane structures.
There are seven categories and we are looking for projects that have been essentially completed since our previous Awards in October 2016.
Each project can only be entered once and we are looking for projects that have a significant input from the region.
Non-members of LSAA may also enter work and there is an entry fee (per project) with details supplied digitally using the forms.
Workshop Article Count: 1
The LSAA often has conducted a technical workshop on the day before the main Conference.
There are normally some structured presentations as well as team building of models to satisfy a client brief.
Past workshops have dealt with the design through erection of tension membrane structures. Another workshop concentrated on the design, fabrication and erection of knitted shadecloth structures.
For the 2020 Conference, a pre-conference workshop dealing with membrane structures is being planned in conjunction with the Specialised Textiles Association (STA - see https://specialisedtextiles.com.au/).
