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 the development of the space frame. A large amount of theoretical and experimental research programs was carried out by many universities and research institutions in various countries. 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 the 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 .
