    Space Frame

    Space frames are truss-like, lightweight structures constructed from interlocking struts in a geometric pattern that can span large areas with few interior supports. They use different types of connectors at the nodes including nodus, triode tic, tubal, and hemispherical dome connectors. Space frames are classified by their curvature into space plane covers, barrel vaults, and spherical domes or by the arrangement of elements into single, double, or triple layer grids. The nodes distribute loads throughout the structure.
