PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

GuildWorks created a striking ETFE pavilion that provided an elegant, weatherproof gathering space for attendees of the Dreamforce event in San Francisco. This transparent structure offered protection from the elements while maintaining a connection to the surrounding urban environment, creating an ideal venue for networking and events. Ethylene Tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE) represents the cutting edge of architectural membrane technology. This remarkable material offers exceptional transparency while weighing just 1% of equivalent glass, allowing for lighter supporting structures and greater design freedom. ETFE's durability (30+ year lifespan), self-cleaning properties, and excellent light transmission make it ideal for creating comfortable year-round environments in prestigious applications. GuildWorks delivers fully custom tensile architecture through a comprehensive design-build approach. Our world-class team transforms outdoor spaces into more accessible, comfortable environments that extend usability year-round. As Design-Build firm, we partner with landscape architects from concept through installation to create distinctive fabric structures tailored to each project's unique character and requirements. This collaborative approach ensures seamless integration with landscape designs while addressing critical challenges like heat island effects and weather protection. For landscape architects seeking truly custom fabric solutions, GuildWorks offers unparalleled expertise in translating design vision into buildable, sustainable reality.
