Compared with other architectural forms, membrane structures can provide unlimited realistic possibilities for the creation of new and unprecedented architectural spaces, and from a certain point of view, membrane structures may be the most inclined to seek solutions directly from structural properties and building materials. Because the envelope of the membrane structure is the purest outward manifestation of the inseparable relationship between the architectural shape and the structural system, the exterior aesthetics of the building is directly from the internal structure system, so the membrane structure architecture can be regarded as the direct unification of the internal structure system and the external structure system.

At the same time, because the membrane structure has the potential of using the least material to cover the large area, it has certain economic potential, and in this system, it can absorb natural light and fresh air into a wide range of space, so it has great potential of application and expression. All of this provides the possibility for architects and structural engineers to achieve more innovative solutions.

Whether in cold climates or in sunny tropical climates, membrane structures provide shelter and shelter: not only can it enhance the warmth of the house by reducing heat consumption, but it also allows the sun to be fully enjoyed even in the centre of the House, due to the use of transparent or near-transparent building membranes. At the same time, the effective use of light exposure to the accompanying solar energy is also good for the housing occupants have no harm. In relatively hot climates, membrane structures play a role in cushioning: In addition to providing shade, their unique architectural profile is also very conducive to ventilation, improving human comfort and saving the cost of artificially controlling the ambient temperature. All these show that, in the actual application process, the membrane structure construction has the irreplaceable superiority.

On the whole, the large-span advantage of membrane structure is the distinguishing feature of other building structures. In the design of functional space of membrane structure, one of the main factors that influence the function of envelope space is the supporting way of membrane structure modeling.

In the structure system of membrane structure, part of the component is for the film surface modeling and transfer load to the bearing, and some components are for the stability of the whole structure.
