Summary/Abstract: The paper presents the morphological aspects of the shaping of some structural systems proposed by the author for various types of roofs, which can be economical support structures for large span roofs and at the same time may produce interesting architectonic forms. Examples are shown of structural forms designed for the needs of covering spaced over concentric forms of base projections and for geodesic domes. In the process of shaping these systems modules in the form of tetrahedrons are applied, which as repeatable units can be arranged in various ways in the space of the created structural system.
