Modular space frame support system, work platform system and methods of erecting the same

A method of assembling a modular space frame support system, the method comprising:

• providing a first frame comprising at least four interconnection structures and at least four joists, wherein the providing the first frame comprises:
• providing a first interconnection structure, a second interconnection structure and a first joist, wherein the first joist is connected to and in operable association with the first and second interconnection structures,
• providing a second joist, a third joist, a third interconnection structure and a fourth interconnection structure,
• connecting the second joist to the first interconnection structure and the third interconnection structure,
• connecting the third joist to the second interconnection structure and the fourth interconnection structure,
• providing a fourth joist,
• connecting the fourth joist to the third and fourth interconnection structures,
• articulating the second joist, the third joist, the fourth joist, the third interconnection structure and the fourth interconnection structure with respect to the first joist, the first interconnection structure and the second interconnection structure from a collapsed position to an extended position, and
• providing a plurality of interconnection structure brackets and coupling the interconnection structure brackets between a first end and a second end of a respective one of the interconnection structures,
• providing a second frame comprising at least four interconnection structures, a plurality of interconnection structure brackets, and at least one of (i) four chords and (ii) four joists, each of the interconnection structure brackets coupled between a first end and a second end of a respective one of the interconnection structures;
• providing at least one of a diagonal chord and a vertical support;
• and
• connecting the at least one of the diagonal chord and vertical support to at least one interconnection structure bracket of the first frame and at least one interconnection structure bracket of the second frame.

A modular space frame support system comprising:

• an upper frame comprising a plurality of joists interconnected with a plurality of interconnection structures;
• a lower frame comprising a plurality of joists or chords interconnected with a plurality of interconnection structures;
• at least two interconnection structure brackets, wherein a first of the at least two interconnection structure brackets is connected to one of the plurality of interconnection structures of the upper frame and a second of the at least two interconnection structure brackets is connected to one of the plurality of interconnection structures of the lower frame, each interconnection structure bracket comprising:
• a hollow tubular section, and
• at least one chord-engaging structure;
• and
• at least one chord secured at a first end to the first of the at least two interconnection structure brackets and at a second end to the second of the at least two interconnection structure brackets.
