heal.abstract	This report summarizes the study carried out on the design of the nodes of a digital theater space truss dome, as well as the design of variations on the possible attachment methods of the interior insulation panels and loudspeakers to the main structure. This work was completed in the New York office of Laufs Engineering Design within a six-month period. The missions entailed first doing research on the different typologies of domes and nodes (Mero, Triodetic, Stamped, Unistrut, etc.) with the aim to gain understanding of their pros and cons. Then developing the sub frame structure supporting the insulation panels and studying different variations to connect to the main structure (existing or new). Also, the global model of the dome theater geometry was analyzed. Finally, the new node geometry has been studied in detail and verified structurally under the loads from the global model. This thesis shows an original node design for space trusses, tested for the requirements of the Limes360 digital theater. It focuses on the node’s verification and lastly its weight optimization within the capacity of the FEM software used. Finally, the required 1:1 testing was not available to be performed during the time of the thesis, but it is necessary and will be done before the construction of the project.	en
