Project Overview
Distinctive Tensile Architecture for Al-Aqeeq Schools
Al-Bereik Shades delivered the complete design, engineering, fabrication, supply, and installation of three tensile conical shade structures for Al-Aqeeq Schools in Madinah, covering a total area of approximately 1,920 m².
The project combines a PVC/PVDF architectural membrane by Serge Ferrari with a custom-fabricated steel support system.
A defining feature of the project is the large arched steel truss spanning above each tensile structure, creating a distinctive architectural profile.
The membrane design is further enhanced by custom blue decorative detailing, integrated into the fabric to complement the architectural identity of the school.
