>>>catenary system and hanging structure(historical discourse)
The word catenary is derived from chain and curve of a chain hanging under gravity would be defined as a parabola .
Fundamentally, it is all about the curves or hanging chains sustained at its ends and by a uniform gravitational force across them.
This kind of the structural form is composed of vaults and columns in order to cover the vast area of the spaces in the western architecture
which is related to the resources available in that moments such as stones.
This structure is inherited to the Gothic architecture and the posterior high tech movement and even today is one of the most beautiful and pragmatic
structural forms despite of the discovery of many constructional materials which unable to cover the vast areas with the flat and rectilinear components.

for instance, a part of boundaries

more in order to create the subspaces
instead of the large roof-like cover of

upper spaces covered with the hung boundaries forming subspaces.
The boundaries of the cells or pods with the dimension of 7.2mx7.2mx7.2m
are excessed, recessed and hung and create subspaces within those cells or
pods and indefinite sense of the connected spaces.
All of cells of the model are varied from one pod to those put together
with the roof-like boundary and the subspaces hung.
The boundaries in the forms of the partitions are equipped with the
opaque and blue transparent panels embedded between sectional frames.
This model is expressed only at the conceptual level. Thus, the main stuctural
system should be explored. However, it has sectional frames
to sustain all of enclosure elements of the pods, which already hint the
structural system for adoption.

The model characterized by the pods is composed
of the sectional bands, each with different state
of panels(transparent and opaque).
This sectional structure is bodyplan or segmentation
which is very typical of bio-features or phylas which
have existed for a long.
