This research addresses the problem of dynamic structures seen from their structural morphology and function in the field of architecture. Dynamic structures and specifically scissor systems have great potential as skin for buildings requiring large beams and others changes required for its functionality. Deployable membrane structures as transformable architecture design requires integration between the structural and architectural factors. This new architecture of lightness and tension handle design adaptability and flexibility for conditions of comfort, both exterior and interior. The objective of this research is to study the solution of the enclosures for deployable structures, adopting textile systems for such approaches, and design coordination for the structure and its enclosure. © 2013 Taylor & Francis Group.
