DESIGN STRATEGIES

03. CONSTRUCTION TECHNIQUE

• SPACE FRAME

A SPACE FRAME IS A TRUSS-LIKE, TRIVIAL STUFF STRUCTURE BUILT FROM INTERLOCKING STRUTS IN A GEOMETRIC PATTERN. THE SPACE FRAME TECHNIQUE IS USED BECAUSE IT IS SUITABLE FOR STRUCTURES THAT HAVE IRREGULAR PLAN SHAPES ALSO THEY ARE COLUMN-FREE, HAVE LARGE SPANS, AND ARE INSTALLED FAST OR CAN BE PREFABRICATED EXCELLENT SPANTO-DEPTH RATIO.

• TENSILE ROOFING

A TENSILE ROOF IS USED BECAUSE IT IS USED FOR LONGSPAN APPLICATIONS. IT CAN BE INSTALLED TO ACHIEVE THE POSSIBILITY OF COLUMN-FREE SPACE DUE TO THE LIGHTWEIGHT NATURE OF THE MEMBRANE.
