ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A structure comprising a plurality of flexible tension members arranged to form a first rectilinear grid pattern; a second plura- lity of flexible tension members arranged to form a second rectili- near grid pattern substantially corresponding to that of said first rectilinear grid pattern of flexible tension members and disposed in spaced relation thereto; a plurality of node members attached to each of the two rectilinear grids of tension members such that each node member on the first rectilinear grid is paired with a corres- ponding one of the node members on the second rectilinear grid, said node members being attached to said tension members at inter- section points of the tension members, said node members on each of said rectilinear grids being arranged along each of said tension members such that each node member is separated by crossed-over tension members from adjacent node members lying along the same tension members; a plurality of tensile members, each of said ten- sile members extending in tension from attachment to a respective one of said node members on said first recliner grid to attachment to the node member on said second rectilinear grid which is paired with said one node member on said first rectilinear grid; and a plurality of compression struts, said struts being arranged such that, at each node member on said first rectilinear grid, struts extend in compression from attachment to said node member on said first rectilinear grid to attachment to each of said node members on said second rectilinear grid which are most closely adjacent to and substantially equidistant from the node member on said second rectilinear grid which is paired with said one node member on said first rectilinear grid, whereby said struts will lie substantially along the diagonals of the rectilinear grids which extend between adjacent node members.
