One of the biggest benefits of frame structures is the ease of construction. It is very easy to train the workforce at the construction site. Since economy also plays a very important role in the design of the building system. Frame structures have an economical design.
Space frame is one of the most weight efficient forms of light steel construction. Elements and nodes are separated and bolted together to form the frame. The geometry can be curved or flat, and there are many variations of grid types.
Discussed below are some of the architectural advantages of this structure and its advantages over conventional structures.
American Concert Hall Decorative Space Frame
Space frame structures are unique among the regular forms of space structure architecture and are architecturally attractive, beautiful and valuable, which is why many architects display space frames in halls, community centers, etc. In many cases, they even use space structures in building facades.
Due to the "optionality of the constraint sequence" in this structure, it is possible to extend the spatial structure with minimal changes to the previous structure - increasing/decreasing the surface area of the implemented spatial structure in any way from any side, while maintaining the former structure and the following design techniques can be achieved at minimal cost. This unique spatial structure capability provides architects and employers with tremendous possibilities to design and arrange development plans. This feature is not found in other structures.
Kuerle Theme Park
There is great flexibility in architecture, using repetitive seemingly identical geometric shapes. We can create different geometric shapes through a variety of architectural designs to design and produce the configuration that the architect needs. Common building shapes include flat, curved, barrel vaulted, domed, umbrella, pyramidal, sine, etc.
The possibility of attaching several pendants from the ceiling of the space frame. Considering the high load-bearing capacity and the numerous nodes at regular intervals, it offers the possibility of design maneuvering to connect several pendants at any desired point, thus creating a unique (interior) architectural work.
No need to use false ceilings in the space frame structure. The beautiful views of the double-layered network in the space structure, presented as repeating geometric shapes, provide a pleasing appearance that is architecturally precious, which is why a large number of architects use space frames instead of false ceilings in community centers, mosques, and airports.
Dalian Power Plant
Predefined points on the spatial structure (structural nodes) and the possibility of attaching spotlights or other light sources to any point on the generated surface area make the setup aesthetically pleasing and suitable for lighting and decoration.
The space between the layers of the space structure provides a good place for the passage of electrical, mechanical, thermal, cryogenic and other structural facilities; in addition, the numerous nodes of the space structure provide the required restrictions for the passage of the communication network of these facilities without additional costs and with minimum visibility.
Designing a safe, aesthetically pleasing and stable structure is an important parameter for every architect. There are not many structures that can match the unique characteristics of space structures.
