The industrial and technological developments which have taken place during the last three decades have had a far-reaching effect on contemporary architecture and modern engineering. New building techniques, new constructional materials, and new structural forms have been introduced all over the world. The architectural search for new structural forms has resulted in the widespread use of three-dimensional structures. The evolution of effective computer techniques of analysis is undoubtedly one of the reasons for the truly phenomenal acceptance of space structures. Their popularity is growing steadily. The designers realize that with the demand for large unobstructed areas, long-span grids braced barrel vaults and domes, and triangulated hyperbolic paraboloids frequently provide the right answer for an economic solution.
