14. The system is light and more efficient as materials are used more optimally than other conventional systems. Therefore, it results in savings in the cost of supporting systems such as columns, walls and foundations. In addition, this facilitates the transportation, assembly, and erection processes.
15. Spatial structures can be supported at any node (flexibility in support locations). This is advantageous for interior architectural planning.
16. The development of spatial structures occurred during a period of high material costs. However, the design aspects of such systems, in particular the generation of free forms, can still be an appealing feature to architects.
17. Spatial structures generally do not require formwork for their construction.
18. Steel, aluminum or timber spatial structures can be disassembled and re-assembled.
