The Sydney Wildlife World, a showcase of Australian flora and fauna, recently earned Universal Fabric Structures first prize for innovation from the Australian Association of Canvas Manufacturers. Universal Fabric Structures’ design combines lightweight steel CHS-curved clearspan arches with a cable bracing system that incorporates a fine transparent mesh. Inspired by the skeletal frame of a python, the structure has a total surface area of 6,000m2 curving around a 90% bend.
