Artficial structures

1. Massive : The earliest man-made constructions were very heavy and massive. They were used stone or wooden lintels

2. Triangulated : They are usually made up of metal or wooden bars. Triangulation makes structures undeformable .

3. Vaulted : They are the structures formed by arches, vaults and domes.

4. Frame : They are the structures of our buildings and houses. They combine elements such as beams and pillars. They can be made out of wood, steel or concrete.

5. Geodesic : They are three-dimensional structures made up of bars, that combine the properties of vaults with those of triangulated structures.

6. Suspended : They are based on the use of cables from which the structure hangs.

7. Laminated : They are made of thin sheets of metal, plastic or composite materials

8. Pneumatic : Pneumatic structures are removable and light, therefore they are used in constructions that must be transported and installed quickly and easily.
