This study aims to provide an example of calculating the wind load in an air rib inflated structure. The method used was an architectural simulation in which building criteria were created and then realized in a CAD-generated iconic model. The building is divided into several segments, analysed mathematically using a calculation method adapted from conventional rigid structure calculations. The lift and drag force results obtained in this study can be used to determine how the air-inflated rib structure builds up against these forces so that each rib element remains anchored on the ground when facing the external forces. To tackle the lift up force is then the next issue of finding the correct foundation in a specific surface material to bind the structure to the ground. This study's calculation model is expected to open the possibilities to develop safer air rib inflated structure application to stand the strong wind.
