Shaping of space structures : examples of applications of Formian in the design of tension-strut systems

Spatial structures: review of types and tendencies in shaping process Basic forms of space frames Shaping of the crystal tension-strut structure Structures shaped by means of tetrahedron modules directed towards the perimeter ring Systems built by means of tetrahedron modules directed to the dome center Structures shaped by means of tetrahedron modules alternatively directed in the concentric hoops Tension-strut systems uilt by means of tetrahedron modules spaced around a triangular-hexagonal grid Structures formed by the application of octahedron modules Structural systems shaped by elongated tetrahedron modules.
