Patent ID: 7448400

Claim:
A modular structure comprising: a plurality of support members forming an eight-sided roof support structure and a roof perimeter for the free-standing structure, each of the plurality of support members having a proximal end and a distal end; a roof fabric covering the roof support structure; a plurality of geodesic load transfer structures upholding certain of the support members and transferring the weight of the roof support structure; a cross-member connecting a pair of opposing support members at a location between the proximal end and the distal end of the pair of opposing members; a plurality of vertical legs communicating with the load transfer structure and receiving the weight of the roof support structure and upholding the free-standing structure, the plurality of vertical legs forming a footprint perimeter for the free-standing structure; wherein the footprint perimeter is larger than the roof perimeter and wherein the modular structure defines a cubic structure.
