PROTOTYPE DEVELOPMENT

SpaceFrame & Roof Exploration

Experiment with different roof forms

Experiment with the space frame structure for different roof forms

PROTOTYPE OF SPACE FRAME

Prototype Ⅴ advantages ease of assembly - fewer parts at each node

Reuse existing 60 braces

Current Design block at top and bottom braces bear on chord and block block at top and bottom braces bear on chord and block single block at top braces bear on chord and block

Space Frame Conponent Detial

single block at top braces bear on rod, chords, and small block advantages use complete surface area of cut for bearing at braces disadvantages more unique parts recut braces to new size small block will be brittle

In order to ensure that the bracing is at 45°, the joint on the bracing side is modified at the suggestion of ARUP (Last drawing by ARUP)

There are a total of 3 different keystones in the entire structure
