An articulated collapsible planar structure (10), including a number of parallel rigid beams (12) of substantially trapezoid cross-section rigidly attached in close formation. The structure (10) is rollable into a compact cylindrical package when the thin sheet faces the center of curvature and forms a curved structure when the beams face toward the center of the curvature.
