Vector active systems
The document provides information about Vector Active structural systems. It discusses different types of Vector Active structures including flat trusses, curved trusses, space frames, and tree systems. Flat trusses are two-dimensional structures made of straight members connected at joints. Curved trusses have a curved top chord. Space frames are lightweight rigid structures made of interlocking struts. Tree systems use tree-like columns that branch near the top to extend over large spans. Case studies of projects using different structural types are also presented.
