Planning membrane entrance canopies

A membrane entrance may express identity or shelter an arrival area. Set the priority between these aims before comparing relationships with buildings, roads and signage.

Support entrance renderings with use drawings

Recognising an entrance from a distance and using it conveniently at close range are different assessments. Review approach sightlines, door movements and waiting positions separately rather than judging appearance alone.

  • From which direction should the entrance be recognisable?
  • Do people need to wait briefly in front of the door?
