I see similar construction in the Tacoma Dome, but based on triangles rather than the parallellograms shown here. I also see hip and ridge beams here, and I use the term "beams" loosely, very loosely.

Palazetto Dello Sport in Italy completed in the late 50's. Phenominal structure!

From the pdf that you attached it looks like it has primary arching directions which smaller members arch onto.
There is some good documentation out there on the design of these type of structural systems.
