Fort McMurray, Canada
International stars, national heroes and local talent will soon grace the Nexen Energy (a CNOOC Limited Company) Stage at SMS Equipment Stadium at Shell Place, filling the air with the shouts of frenzied fans under the vast northern lights. The stadium is part of a major expansion project, which will allow Shell Place to host a variety of large-scale events at the outdoor performance center. It will feature an iconic tensile membrane canopy by Birdair.
Operated by the Regional Recreation Corporation of Wood Buffalo, a not-for-profit company, MacDonald Island Park, in Fort McMurray, Alberta, is Canada's largest community recreation, leisure and social centre. In addition to the Nexen Energy Stage and SMS Equipment Stadium, Shell Place will include a baseball/softball tournament center, field house, conference center and community park. The project is scheduled to be completed in 2015.
大约30,000平方英尺的PTFE鸟床结构，俯瞰着内奇能源阶段和摩尔森户外溜冰场，已成为与壳牌地区项目广泛识别的特征。旨在模仿起伏的北极光，树冠特征会产生强烈的视觉兴趣点，并将成为社区活动和庆祝活动的焦点。
脱离这个世界的合作
Architecture: ATB, 360 Architecture, and Clark Builders worked to complete this project. But, they needed something special to make Nexen Energy Stage beautiful, unique and weather-resistant, so they turned to Birdair, the expert on custom tensile structures, to design and construct the iconic canopy. The northern lights inspired structure is made of PTFE fiberglass membrane, with a steel supporting structure. PTFE, or polytetrafluoroethylene, is known by the brand name Teflon®*, which coats the woven fiberglass to form a membrane that is extremely durable and weather resistant. PTFE fiberglass membranes can be installed in climates ranging from the frigid arctic to the scorching desert heat with a product life in some cases exceeding 30 years, so it’s perfect for the cold and snowy Canadian weather.
Look To the Sky
美丽的PTFE结构创造了一个开放，邀请的空间，将在晚上栩栩如生，发光灯和欢呼的粉丝。PTFE膜可用于构建屋顶，立面，独立式建筑，天窗或口音外壳。
“PTFE fiberglass membrane is used to create beautiful, iconic structures that are also durable and functional. PTFE is a versatile, energy efficient product that saves money in the long run,” said Birdair Project Manager Michael Grant. “It’s a great product, and it was perfect for the Nexen Energy Stage at Shell Place.”
Completely different from other building materials both aesthetically and functionally, it is the combination of uncommon physical and geometric characteristics that make tensile membrane structures iconic. Fabric roof forms are curved between supporting elements in a manner reflective of the flow of tension forces within the membrane. With the exception of air-supported structures, these curvatures are anticlastic in nature. The curving forms of fabric roofs have dramatic appeal. Another attractive feature of tensioned fabric structures is their enormous range of spanning capability. The inherent visual drama and the long span ability of fabric are particularly appropriate for entertainment venues such as Nexen Stage. They transform an average music venue into a stunning work of architecture that reflects the energy-filled atmosphere of the concerts.
