Gridshell is a new structure that is light, flexible, economic, easy to construction and has high strength, all of these elements point to a word “less”, which we can understand it as a high efficient form, however, it is not enough. As a new type of structure, we have to create it though efficient means beside high efficient form. Bracing selected strategy is one of the means. In simply terms, the generation of efficient form by efficient means. “NEW” has a lot of dimensions, environmental element is that we have to consider in addition to being different from traditional architecture. As a result, we must emphasize on the high strength here due to the fact that reusability play an important role. The material properties give it high strength, and the form of structural organization is crucial.
