Case StudiesStrong Museum of Play: Free-Form Space Frame Roof
The Strong Museum of Play in Rochester, New York, needed a roof that had never been built before. Triodetic delivered the world's first amorphous space frame structure - a 200-foot caterpillar-shaped architectural canopy where every one of 4,500 members is geometrically unique. This is how it was done.
Case StudiesSpence Mine Filter Plant Cover Case Study: Barrel Vault Mining Dome in the Atacama Desert
This case study presents the Spence filter plant cover in the Atacama Desert, a double curvature barrel vault mining dome that protects critical mining infrastructure at 1,750 meters above sea level. It highlights geometry, materials, seismic design, installation strategy, and long term performance under extreme desert conditions.
Case StudiesSt. Jude’s Igloo Cathedral: Engineering Faith and Resilience in the Arctic
Rebuilt after a devastating fire, St. Jude’s Igloo Cathedral in Iqaluit showcases the fusion of Inuit tradition and advanced engineering. This dome-shaped steel structure stands as a testament to community resilience, Arctic adaptability, and precision design capable of withstanding extreme cold and high winds.
Case StudiesQuellaveco Mine Dome Case Study: Engineering a 124m Structure.
Discover how the Quellaveco Dome—an engineering feat spanning 124 meters—was designed to withstand extreme seismic, wind, and dust conditions at over 3,000 meters in the Peruvian Andes. This case study explores the structural innovation, international collaboration, and sustainable impact behind one of mining’s most advanced enclosures.
ArticlesHudson and Rex: Where Canine Heroes and Triodetic Structures Shine!
The iconic police station in Hudson & Rex is real—designed by Triodetic at Memorial University. Its inverted dome and glass facade aren’t just visually stunning—they’re an engineering feat built to withstand wind, snow, and time with no visible bracing.
