       [ "space frame" ]

      1: In architecture and structural engineering, a space frame or space structure (3D truss) is a rigid, lightweight, truss-like structure constructed from interlocking struts in a geometric pattern. Space frames can be used to span large areas with few interior supports. Like the truss, a space frame is strong because of the inherent rigidity of the triangle; flexing loads (bending moments) are transmitted as tension and compression loads along the length of each strut.

        * e.g.,  ... Space frames are a common feature in modern building construction; they are often found in large roof spans in modernist commercial and industrial buildings.
