    Abstract: An exemplary axial joint includes a planar member having a first plurality of joined sections and a second plurality of joined sections perpendicular to the first plurality of joined sections. Each section of the first plurality of joined sections and the second plurality of joined sections has a pattern of apertures therein, and each section is foldable approximately perpendicular to an adjacent section. The pattern of apertures in a first section after folding is congruent with the pattern of apertures in a second section after folding, wherein the second section is parallel to the first section, after folding. An elongate member is arranged through the apertures of one or more sections of the planar member, after folding the sections of the planar member.

    Abstract: A modular shading facade spaced from a building wall includes multiple decorative modules. Each module is formed by a rigid frame with outwardly extending legs connected to the frame by multiple receiving brackets. Each receiving bracket has a base and a stepped region formed by two angle shaped parts disposed at an angle to each other to define an open space for receiving the respective leg. A primary bracket is defined by a base with a primary socket attached to the base for inserting said legs. The primary bracket is connected to a facade frame.

    Abstract: A strut disclosed herein, where multiple such struts are configured to form a geodesic dome, where each strut includes multiple elongate rod members with multiple fastener-through holes defined on each of the elongate rod members. The opposing ends of each elongate rod member comprises a bolt hole, where each of the opposing ends of one elongate rod member is joined and fastened to other opposing ends of the other elongate rod members to define a hub, thereby defining a framework for the geodesic dome. Each fastener-through hole is configured to fasten a covering material of a predefined configuration over the framework defined by the elongate rod members, thereby forming the geodesic dome.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for construction of space-truss structures are described herein. In some embodiments, software is provided that includes a design module for providing a three-dimensional surface model for the space-truss structure and a fabrication module for providing construction specifications for the space-truss structure. The fabrication module can receive the three-dimensional surface model generated by the design module as input. The space-truss structure is constructed of components including nodes, rods, and panels. These components are generated using the construction specifications provided by the fabrication module. The nodes can include multiple node portions constructed of flat, metal plates having end portions that are bent at 90-degree angles with respect to a base portion for assembly.

    Abstract: A space frame (10) has upper chord lower grids (12, 14) of intersecting chords (16, 18). The chords (16, 18) are interconnected by bracing modules (30), the bracing modules (30) being spaced apart from one another in each grid direction. The bracing modules (30) are formed from four bracing members (32), the bracing members (32) being arranged in mutually inclined pairs, the bracing members (32) of each pair extending between upper and lower chords (16, 18) extending in the same grid direction. Each pair of bracing members (32) crosses the other pair of bracing members (32), the point of crossing (34) coinciding or being positioned between each member of the other pair of bracing members (32) and either the upper or lower chord (16, 18) associated with the other pair of bracing members (32).

    Abstract: A reticulated dome structure (20) has an inner structural network (24) and an outer structural network (26). Each network has structural members (34, 38) connected at junctions (36, 40) to form various shapes of dome structures including: vault, vault with rounded ends, triangular, stadium, intersecting vault, and spherical. The junctions have two plates (54, 56) with the structural members fastened (68) therebetween to form moment bearing junctions. Tubular braces (32) are connected according to a desired plan between outer network junctions and inner network junctions to establish a desired substantially parallel spacing between the networks and to transfer loads locally between the networks. The network members subdivide outer and inner surfaces into polygonal areas which are of a uniform kind in the outer network. The outer network openings can be closed by closure panels (29, 170) which laterally stabilize the outer network members to which they are connected and structurally enhance that network.

    Abstract: A modular space framed structure is constructed using uniform components to provide the desired geometry of the modular structure. The structure is comprised of a plurality of rigid Y-shaped joints, each of which has three branches which are disposed at respective predetermined space angles with respect to one another, and a plurality of panels spanning the spaces between the joints. In one embodiment the space angle between first and second branches are approximately 120.degree. and the respective space angles between a third branch and each of the first and second branches are approximately 90.degree. so that the interconnection of first and second branches of adjacent devices defines a hexagonal frame at each level in the structure and the interconnection of aligned ones of the third branches defines vertical legs of the structure. A plurality of such structures may be arranged to form a honeycomb shaped building construction with common vertical legs between adjacent structures. The Y-shaped joints may be comprised of three tubular branches or alternatively, three C-channel beams.
