Architectural Business
Our membrane structural products and technologies bring freedom and flexibility to architecture and functional comfort to industry. We will further pursue the characteristics of membranes to create attractive buildings that brightly illuminate our lives, society, people, and the earth.
One of the world's top market share
Membrane structural construction with a proven track record.
Reinforced concrete cannot,
Flexible and dynamic
Create comfortable spaces.
Taiyo Kogyo Corporation has been involved in large domes and other large-scale membrane structural buildings covering transportation facilities, school gymnasiums, etc.
They have the advantage of enabling architectural freedom that could not be achieved with conventional materials, while also reducing construction and lighting costs.
Features of membrane structural buildings
Realizing wide open spaces
Membrane materials are extremely lightweight compared to conventional building materials. Membrane structural architecture can take advantage of its lightness to create vast spaces with no columns.
Realizing bright spaces with high light transmittance
Membrane structural buildings can be constructed with lightweight material composition, thus reducing transportation costs and shortening the construction period. White membrane materials also contribute to reduced lighting costs due to their high translucency.
Enabling labor savings at construction sites
Compared to other buildings, construction of membrane structural buildings is easier and can be completed in a shorter period of time, requiring fewer workers. This will help solve the problem of labor shortages in the construction industry and reduce labor costs.
Contributing to reduction of environmental impact
Compared to buildings that use many metal or concrete components, membrane structural buildings are lightweight and require fewer materials, greatly reducing the environmental impact of transportation. After completion, the highly translucent white membrane roofs will secure brightness, reducing daytime lighting use and power consumption.
Our membrane structural buildings are utilized in various buildings and facilities in Japan.
We will continue to create further value of membranes with products and technologies that are one step ahead of the market.
Project Stories
Strengths of the Architectural Business
Thorough pursuit of the unique characteristics of membranes
Membranes have the characteristics of being flexible, lightweight, light-permeable, and able to cover a wide area or wrap around an object. Since our founding, we have continued to pursue ways to take advantage of the unique properties of membranes. The appeal of membranes is the starting point of our business and our greatest strength.
Outstanding manufacturing and construction capabilities
We also have plants operating at three locations in Japan, and can provide a full range of services from planning to design, manufacturing, and installation of membrane structural buildings. Our technical staff, who are well versed in the characteristics of membranes, along with our many years of experience, can demonstrate their construction capabilities to meet our clients' needs.
Industry-leading R&D and design technology
We have the industry's only technical research laboratory, which is responsible for research and development of membrane structure technology and materials. From material development to titanium dioxide photocatalytic membranes, light-storing membranes that store sunlight during the day and issue it at night, and environmentally friendly membrane materials using kenaf, we contribute to our customers with our unique development and technical capabilities.
