This presentation argues that lightweight tensile membrane architecture offers a scalable pathway to low-carbon buildings. A comparative LCA shows membrane solutions can cut embodied carbon by up to four times versus conventional assemblies, aided by lower transport energy and simplified foundations. Construction timelines shrink by up to 50%, further reducing emissions and costs.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本では建設業のScope 3・体現炭素（embodied carbon）開示がSSBJ基準や有報でのサステナビリティ情報開示と連動しつつあり、建材選択の定量根拠として膜構造LCAの知見は実務的に有用。ただし開示制度・炭素会計フレームワークとの接続は本稿では明示されない。
In the global GX context
As ISSB/CSRD push embodied-carbon disclosure into scope, material-level LCA evidence like this supports the transition from operational to whole-life carbon accounting in construction. It speaks to green-building certification and low-carbon procurement debates, though it does not engage disclosure frameworks directly.

📄 Abstract（原文）
Abstract As the building industry faces mounting pressure to address climate change and improve resource efficiency, the need for innovative architectural strategies that successfully balance functionality and sustainability has never been greater. This presentation explores the potential of lightweight tensile membrane architecture as a forward‐looking and effective response to these pressing challenges. Through an in‐depth case study, it will be demonstrated how tensile membrane structures serve not only as protective enclosures but also as high‐performance systems that enhance environmental quality, significantly reduce carbon footprints, and promote sustainable design principles in contemporary architecture. Tensile membrane structures are distinguished by their minimal material consumption and remarkable design flexibility, which present unique opportunities for architects and engineers aiming to create buildings that are both materially efficient and environmentally responsive. Advances in state‐of‐the‐art membrane materials have led to solutions with exceptional UV durability and weather resistance, often providing a design life that exceeds 20 years. These attributes contribute to the longevity and reliability of tensile membrane architecture, making it a practical choice for sustainable construction. To quantitatively assess the environmental benefits of these systems, a comparative Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) was conducted between tensile membrane structures and conventional building assemblies. The results reveal that membrane‐based solutions can reduce embodied carbon emissions by up to four times compared to traditional construction methods. This substantial reduction is largely attributable to the lightweight nature of membranes, which lowers transportation energy, and the simplified foundation requirements that decrease material and labor inputs. Additionally, construction timelines for membrane structures are significantly shortened—often by as much as 50%—resulting in further reductions in both carbon emissions and project costs. Beyond their measurable environmental and economic advantages, tensile membranes embody a broader shift towards integrated design thinking. They effectively merge material innovation, structural efficiency, and ecological responsibility within a single architectural approach. Their ability to span large areas with minimal supports, form sculptural shapes, and allow natural light transmission creates unique spatial experiences while fulfilling essential practical and environmental functions. In conclusion, lightweight tensile membrane architecture offers a compelling and scalable pathway toward low‐carbon, high‐performance building design. By reimagining enclosure and occupant comfort through flexible and efficient means, these systems address the evolving demands of sustainable construction. As urbanization continues and climate challenges intensify, tensile membrane architecture will increasingly play a vital role in shaping resilient, adaptive, and responsible built environments for the future.
