IMS Symposium 2024 - Highlights
The IMS Symposium 2024 brought together professionals and experts in membrane and lightweight architecture for two days of engaging discussions, innovative ideas, and meaningful networking.
During the first day, there were a series of presentations covering project developments, sustainability advancements, and the latest innovations in the field. AMA took the opportunity to present the AMA Awards, emphasizing the importance of building a strong community and association among all participants. The day closed with a touching tribute to Robert Off, recognizing his decades of dedication and impact on the industry. It was a moment that underscored his invaluable contributions and the inspiration he has provided to so many in the field.
The second day featured more presentations, lively debates, and valuable moments of networking among attendees. The day continued with a guided tour of the iconic Bauhaus Museum in Dessau, providing a deeper look into the historical roots of design and architecture. In the evening, the symposium concluded with a farewell cocktail, where participants had the chance to relax, share experiences, and solidify connections made during the event.
A big thank you to all the participants, organizers, and everyone who attended. We look forward to seeing you again at future events like this one!

Outstanding participation at the Textile Roofs Workshop 2024
The Textile Roofs Workshop is a gathering that brings together leading experts in the design and realization of textile roofs. This year, participants had the opportunity to learn and engage in discussions while enjoying the beautiful views of Berlin from a solar-powered boat cruising along the River Spree, under excellent spring weather. The event took place at the Solar Seminarship in Spreebogen, Berlin, from April 28th to 30th.
The Program included lectures by key figures from the membrane structure industry and academia, opportunities for hands-on development of practical case studies, and informal tutorial environments. Keynote lectures addressed topics such as introducing lightweight structures, computational and physical modeling, the design of tensile architecture, recent developments in composites, and a variety of membrane structures.
In this 26th edition, we were honored to have the participation of our AMA members Katja Bernert and Aoife Brennan. Katja Bernert, representing Mehler Texnologies GmbH, delivered an insightful presentation about "Patterns for Parasols – Technical Textile between Tension and Decoration." focused on the innovative use of technical textiles in the design of parasols, balancing the aesthetic appeal with functional requirements. Aoife, introduced the AMA Awards, emphasizing the importance of recognizing excellence in textile architecture, and invited the workshop attendees to participate in the upcoming AMA Awards.
A huge thank you to Textile Roofs for the invitation. See you in the next edition!

Spatial Structures: Movers and Shakers, Interview with Katja Bernert
Formfinding: Should we go back to basics?
In this interview with our board member Katja Bernert from Mehler Texnologies, Katja takes us into a conversation we should all be having, how to make everything we do more sustainable and environmentally responsible? Katja brings out the question of the design process, do the new technologies used like formfinding software, take into account aspects like sustainable materials, global footprint, etc.? She encourages architects and engineers to use their intuition again to be able to introduce new (and very important) angles into the equation.Who is responsible for these changes? The manufacturers? The clients? the government?
