Abstract: Technical textiles are functional fabrics that have applications across including both construction (BuildTech) and architecture (ArchiTech). This technical textile is developed for high-tech and high-performance applications. In modern architecture, high-performance textile materials are highly valued and widely used in various applications, including self-cleaning, low-maintenance structures, fabric canopies, and energyefficient buildings. They are also utilized for high-performance façades, energy-harvesting curtains, flexible mega-structures, responsive phase-change materials, air-supported fabric constructions, thermal regulation, green roofs, smart living spaces, acoustic solutions, advanced building materials, and creating habitable spaces in extreme weather conditions. In this study, the types of textiles used in the facade and roofing systems of stadium facilities in Türkiye have been examined. The advantageous properties of textiles employed in stadium structures characterized by substantial roof and facade openings at the structural scale have been critically analyzed in relation to other conventional building materials. The technical textile material summary demonstrates the tremendous diversity of today's membrane materials using stadium facilities in Turkey.
