The Manta Rays In Tensile Membrane Structures Achieve Architectural Biophilic and Curvature Shapes, Not Achievable By Other Roof Materials
The Manta Rays project by acclaimed Belgian-born, Paris-based lead archibiotect Vincent Callebaut is built 100% in bio-based materials, it is easily removable and reassemblable like a giant meccano, to better respect the Balinese site in which it is set up.
Constantly challenging conventional ideas and pushing architectural boundaries, multiple award-winning Archibiotect has single-handedly spearheaded green and sustainable design, taking it to the next level. The European Centre for Architecture, Art, Design and Urban Studies, and The Chicago Athenaeum Museum of Architecture and Design have named Belgian architect Vincent Callebaut as the Green Practitioner of the Year 2021.
Awarded in the top 50 of the Green Planet Architects, Vincent Callebaut Architectures is referenced as the best eco-prospective and visionary architectural firm by the Time Magazine imagining fantastical projects that address the worlds environmental and social ills. Known for his ecovisions that surpasses the human imagination, his cutting-edge ideas give hope for a better future.

The Manta Rays project by Vincent Callebaut Architectures is a sustainable cluster of ecolodges in Organic Tensile Membrane structures in Bali, Indonesia.
For the project “Manta Rays’, a sustainable cluster of ecolodges in Tensile Membrane Structures (TMS), form-finding was the first step in the design process, in which the structure has adopted a unique equilibrium shape based on the initial configuration of the structure and the applied initial prestress.
In this biomimetic approach, using a minimum of material, mixing bamboo structure and organic jute fabric, this Tensile Membrane construction achieves architectural biophilic and curvature shapes, not achievable by other roof materials.
Pre-stressed membrane and organic fabric is weather resistant, sustainable, and able to withstand large tensile strength yet lightweight.
