STRUCTURE
I
The remarkable rigidity and economy of three dimensional space structures has been realized, but
only during the last decade have they begun to come into widespread architectural usage. In age, of
standardization and prefabrication, their simplicity of manufacture, ease of transportation, and

weight to area covered can be greatly reduced through their use ,and they allow the construction of
long span structures with a far smaller number of intermediate supports - SPACE FRAME

BOLTS :
The majority of the nodes of the space frame structure consist of joints
where the connecting members are bolted to a solid round node bar
by means of double cover splice connection.
The connection type was chosen in alignment with the architectural
intent.
Jean Nouvel wanted to show how the members are connected and
transfer loads. In the design process it was described as a "mechanical
connection".

Q5.What are components of the space frames?
WORLD
MEMORIAL HALL
,KOBE , JAPAN
The first realization of “Pantadome system” was
for the world memorial hall in Kobe, Japan. Which
was completed in 1984 ready for the Universidad
held there in 1985 and subsequently as an all-
purpose hall.
Particular design requirements were that it should
house a 160 m running track. seat 10000
spectators and that there should be at least 24 m
head room internally to accommodate large
yachts in exhibitions.
The final solution was a building approximately 70
x 11 O m with 34 m radius quarter spheres at
each end connected by a 40.8 m long cylindrical
vault. Centered 1 m above ground level the
semicircular vault rises to almost 40 m.

Rigid frames were used to accommodate a large number
of window openings in the lower part of the side walls,
however, a 1.5 m deep space truss formed the rest of
the building envelope.
