As one of the buildings which have the most iconic structure in Britain, the crystal Palace has its own way to survive for around 12p years before it got burned down in a fire. Mainly used iron and glass, it has its own special design to hold the structure.
ridge and furrow roof design
This roofing design system is unique, designed with a circular arch to dispersive pressure and hold the glass.
The frame structure of this roof is also very instructive.
this structure is very smart cause it uses the fact that triangles are the most stable structure, which inspires me to use it in the structure of my spaghetti bridge. Consider that using liquid glue will make it hard to build the triangular structure, like the picture shown below, but it’s still a good idea to do so.
But we can still apply the intersecting network structure to our own design, which will increase the toughness of our bridge.
