Have you ever heard about an unique Hajj Terminal at Saudi
Every year hundreds of thousands
of Muslims converge on Mecca to
perform the Hajj, the pilgrimage that is
a duty of their faith. Designed to host
this influx, the Hajj Terminal at Saudi
Arabia's King Abdulaziz International
Airport is a strikingly modern, open air
tent village covering 120 acres.
Most buildings hold their structure
up by the weight of things pushed together stacked bricks and joists,for example.But the Hajj terminal relies instead on tension ,the force created when things are pulled apart.In the roofs of Hajj terminal vast swathes of light weight ,flexible,Teflon coated fiber glass fabric are suspended in cone shape on taut steel cables
