Large span and complex geometry spatial structures for fixed and retractable roofs
This article takes a brief look at how space structures have evolved since their appearance in the world of construction until the present day. A series of representative works built in Spain over the last 20 years using modern manufacturing technologies demonstrates the possibilities offered by this kind of structure to architects and designers when designing roofs to cover large spans and complex typologies. Examining the details of one innovative construction method, the article concludes by presenting an example of a space structure applied to the construction of retractable roofing systems.
