Description
The Tarxien Temples where built 3600 - 2500 BC. The temples needed a protective shelter against natural aging (rain, water, dust). The original design was based upon a lattice structure. Taiyo Europe changed this design into a lightweight fabric structure using PTFE coated fiber glass as fabric. Fabric structure, fabric color, steel and infrastructure parts harmonize perfectly with the environment.
