three-dimensional structural system composed of interconnected members, other than loadbearing walls, which is capable of supporting vertical loads and may also provide horizontal resistance to lateral forces
A space frame may be composed of beams and columns or of a series of members joined together in a triangulated framework. Triangulated space frames are stable and can span large areas without intervening columns or, where cantilevered space structures are used, with few internal columns.
