Project Description

Zoo Miami Cloud Canopy-Span Membrane Structure

Large Irregular-Span Membrane Structure with Space Pipe Truss System

This project involves a large irregular-span structure with spans ranging from 66 to 128 feet, designed to meet complex architectural requirements and challenging structural conditions.

The main load-bearing system adopts a space pipe truss structure, offering high structural stiffness, efficient load transfer, and excellent overall stability while maintaining a lightweight configuration suitable for large-span applications.

A membrane structure is integrated with the steel truss system, combining structural performance with architectural lightness and aesthetic expression. The membrane covering provides effective enclosure, weather protection, and daylight transmission, while reducing self-weight and construction loads.

This integrated structural solution ensures safety, durability, and constructability, making it well suited for public buildings, large-span canopies, and landmark architectural projects.
