TENSEGRITIES FOR SKELETAL DOMES: THE GEORGIA DOME; A CASE STUDY

Authors

  • Michele Melaragno

Abstract

In the second part of this century, a new generation of domes appeared: the skeletal domes in cable structures which provide the opportunity to hold new records for the maximum free span ever achieved in covering a single building. The author reviews such a building erected for the 1996 Olympics. His paper aims to contribute to the dissemination of the architectural message hiding in tensegrity domes.
