Abstract
A space structure means a structure such as a space truss, a suspended structure, or an air supported structure. The space truss is a suitable system for industrial use or constructing systematized structures because it can be divided into simplified components. Modern technology has made dramatic progress in the past decade, but the advanced technologies involved have not yet had a strong impact on architecture. The aim of this paper is to prove that the space truss can be both systematized and industrialized through the use of such advanced technologies as C. I. M. (Computer, Integrated, Manufacturing), and that the system truss (systematized space truss) will be able to provide infinite possibilities for architects to create space structures.
