HANGING STRUCTURES HAVING ZOME GEOMETRY

摘要

Hanging structure includes a structure frame, the structure frame having a substantially convex polyhedron shape, the structure frame comprising at least one facet, at least one level and a ratio; a plurality of compressive members being disposed to align along a substantially horizontal alignment on the structure frame and configured to absorb a compressive force, the plurality of compressive members further being disposed to delineate each of the at least one level; and a plurality of tensile members carrying the plurality of compressive members, the plurality of tensile members being disposed to align along a substantially vertical or diagonal alignment on the structure frame; and a plurality of moment resisting nodes defining attachment points between the plurality of compressive members and the plurality of tensile members.
