| Abstract | ||||
| There was a continuation in utilizing and applying of fabrics (such as foils, fiberglass and some innovative fabrics) which became an inspiring tool in architecture both in construction and architecture, to suit various ideas and requests with notable impacts on building performance in comparison with other materials. The aim of this study is to identify the essential features of fabric materials and how the fabrics may promote the flexible architecture approach. It explores the role of the fabric in the innovative constructions by facilitating the techniques and principles of flexible architecture in design and construction to examine how the compatibility of cloth to be achieved. To attain the aim, the paper was based on SWOT analysis method as a way to examine the flexible approach of fabrics on the architectural performance. | ||||
