Cable Nets and Tents: Minimal Materials for Large-Span Translucent Roofs

Design a stadium canopy in the manner of Frei Otto built as a prestressed steel cable net carrying acrylic panels, spanning enormous distances with a structure so light it seems provisional, deliberately rejecting monumental architecture.
