Crafted with Ingenuity: BDIR Space Structures Creates a New Landmark of Spatial Art for the “San Yue San” Festival in Nanning, Guangxi
Lead Paragraph:
In March 2025, the membrane structure system for the main venue of the “San Yue San” Festival in Nanning, fully designed and constructed by BDIR Space Structures, was officially delivered. Centered around BDIR’s independently developed prestressed tensile membrane technology, the project integrates a soft-edge anchoring system at the crown and a wavy hyperbolic boundary design. This transforms the cultural DNA of the Zhuang ethnic group into a modern architectural language, successfully creating an all-weather venue capable of hosting over 100,00 visitors for large-scale cultural celebrations.

Technical Highlights
1. Innovative Structural System
Crown Soft-Edge Anchoring Technology:
Utilizing high-strength PTFE membrane material and custom aluminum alloy corner plates, this technique allows for flexible edge stress relief, effectively eliminating the risk of membrane tearing often caused by traditional rigid connections.
Wavy Hyperbolic Form:
Through parametric modeling, 12 sets of continuous spatial surfaces were generated. This design not only enhances rainwater drainage efficiency (by 35%) but also significantly improves wind uplift resistance.

2. Fully Integrated Service Process
From conceptual design and structural fabrication to on-site tensioning and fine-tuning, the BDIR team delivered a seamless, end-to-end solution encompassing design, construction, and maintenance — ensuring rapid project completion within just 45 days.
“The wavy eaves create a stunning water curtain effect during heavy rain, while the soft-edge anchoring system gives the membrane structure a light, breathing-like quality.”

Conclusion
Guided by the philosophy of “Form Through Structure, Soul Through Culture,” BDIR continues to push the boundaries of artistic expression in tensile membrane architecture. The Nanning “San Yue San” project stands not only as a testament to technical excellence, but also as a replicable model of innovation for cultural tourism events and commercial spaces.
