Abstract: Non-linear architecture is getting more and more attention from worldwide architects for its continuous fluidity and perfect fusion with environment. However, it tremendously challenges the traditional construction technology and structural design method. Meanwhile, continuing high energy consumption in tradition buildings calls for better thermal insulation capabilities. FRP (Fiber Reinforced Polymer) including FRP sandwich panel is a new kind of structural material with low density, high strength, convenient construction and excellent designability. In addition, the flexible solar cells cover curved FRP surface to integrate photovoltaic power generation, thermal insulation and other nonstructural functions into high-strength and lightweight structures, which can satisfy the need for energy consumption in non-linear architectures. This paper will summarize the use of FRP in integrating nonstructural functionality into non-linear architecture before, and provide some reference for its application in the future.

Key words: FRP, FRP sandwich panel, non-linear architecture, flexible solar cell, function and structure integrating
