A growing interest in space frame structures has been witnessed worldwide over the last half-century. The search for new structural forms to accommodate large unobstructed areas has always been the main objective of architects and engineers. With the advent of new building techniques and construction materials, space frames frequently provide the right answer and satisfy the requirements for lightness, economy, and speedy construction. Significant progress has been made in the process of development of space frame. As a result, a great deal of useful information has been disseminated, and fruitful results have been put into practice. In the past few decades, the proliferation of space frame was mainly due to its great structural potential and visual beauty. New and imaginative applications of space frames are being demonstrated in the total range of building types, such as sports arenas, exhibition pavilions, assembly halls, transportation terminals, airplane hangars, workshops, and warehouses. They have been used not only on long-span roofs, but also on mid- and short-span enclosures as roofs, floors, exterior walls, and canopies.
