Abstract


Expandable Space Bas Structures are being intensively investigated and they offer great utilitiers in architecture. They can be adjusted to a range of shapes as varied as for any other type of articulated structures. Among them, those used to enclose spaces are the most attractive and credited for the future. In this paper some cylindrical and spherical design models are discussed and classified according to their generation pattern and their kynematic constraints, taking on account requirements to be fulltilled to make their geometry compatible with the stages of unfolding. An introduction to the method for structural analysis is also included, along with a number of examples.
