Completed in 2007, the membrane canopy was a joint project between EmTech students and Buro Happold. It is an early example of employing parametric design for conceptualisation, analysis, and collaboration. Comprised of 150 distinct components, the structure meets dual objectives: it offers protection from rain and sunlight while maintaining structural stability by deliberately arranging its elements. The design's impact and its environmental adaptability were rigorously evaluated using simulation software, reflecting a commitment to practical and effective architectural design.

The canopy construction was an entirely student-led endeavour undertaken in the fabrication workshop. This aspect of the project illustrates hands-on learning and demonstrates the practical application of theoretical concepts in real-world scenarios.
