ABSTRACT:
A building structure comprising a lattice-like network of support elements connected together at junctures to form a three-dimensional frame supporting a fabric-like canopy or skin laid thereover as an enclosure and wherein a resilient ball-like buffer is supported by the frame at each juncture point to engage the canopy and thus to prevent its direct engagement with the frame at the juncture points to reduce its wear and stress.
