One of the greatest benefits of frame construction is the ease of construction. It is very easy to train the workforce on the construction site. As economy also plays a very important role in the design of building systems. Frame construction has an economical design. The 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 type of structure and its advantages over conventional structures.
Architectural advantages of spatial structures
The unique simplicity and beauty of space frame structures in regular forms of space frame architecture is architecturally attractive, beautiful and valuable, which is why many architects display space frames in halls, community centres etc. and in many cases they even use space structures in their building facades.
There is a great deal of flexibility in terms of architecture, using repetitive and 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 and many more.
No need to use false ceilings in space frame structures. 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 centres, mosques and airports, ETC.
The possibility of attaching several pendants from the ceiling of the space frame. Given the high load-bearing capacity and the numerous nodes at regular intervals, it offers the possibility of design manoeuvres to connect several pendants at any desired point, thus creating a unique (interior) architectural work.
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 skills can be achieved at minimal cost. This unique spatial structure capability offers architects and employers great possibilities to design and arrange development plans.
A structure suitable for lighting. 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 set-up aesthetically pleasing and suitable for lighting and decoration.
Space saving. The space between the layers of the spatial structure provides a good place for the passage of electrical, mechanical, thermal, cryogenic and other structural facilities; in addition, the numerous nodes of the spatial structure provide the required restrictions for the passage of the communication network of these facilities without additional costs and with a minimum of visibility.
High safety factor. Designing a safe, aesthetically pleasing and stable structure is an important parameter for every architect. Not many structures can match this because of the unique characteristics of space structures.
