CONT

What type of building structure should we use? Steel? Laminated Arches? Concrete Block? Wood frame? Post and beam? ... Laminated arch structures can enclose even greater spaces, and can create warm yet impressive interiors. However, laminated arch buildings may lack flexibility and expandability. Masonry, especially decorative block, can serve double duty as a load-bearing wall and as a finish system, but may lack warmth.
