How do you lift an already assembled roof space frame weighing at least 50 ton(my estimate) covering an area of at least 10 metres by 30 metres to a height of 10metres?
As an engineer mainly involved in permanent structures,it always baffles me to see tall cranes at construction sites.There must be a way and a mechanical system to do it but this is beyond my knowledge.
To my pleasant suprise,I happened to see this mechanism being fixed at each column as shown in the photo below.Now,I think I can figure out how it works.
Please suggest/propose appropriate/suitable space frame for roof above 500 person auditorium. Thank you

As a professional engineer,I just could not give my suggestion without looking at the architectural plans and talk to the architect.By then, you have to engage me as your structural engineering consultant;-)
