3. Triangulate structures

   • Consist of criss-crossing bars arranged in a triangular shape

4. Suspended structures

   • Consist of a cables braces or tensioners. They are fastened to the main elements

5. Laminated structures

   • Consist on flat surfaces covered in sheeting or laminate that cover the other elements

6. Pneumatic structures

   • Pneumatic structure consist of a membrane of composite material. This material can withstand traction forces generated by compressed air inside it.

7. Valueted structures

   • The main elements of this type of structure are the arch, the vault and dome. Valueted structures are able to resist compression forces.

8. Geodesic structures

   • Geodesic structures are a combination of a triangulated and valuted structures. They use polygons
