Default question about scale scaffolding/ support beams

is there a ready-made scale modeling material that is similar in form and structure with scaffolding or support beams?

specifically these beams on the ceiling:


and most specially these supporting curved beams outside the terminal:


any ideas if there are materials ready-made, or at least with minimal assembly?

thanks!

no, not a replica of that terminal. that would be too complicated!

but something similar with supporting external beams.

you could do it...you could use some wire for the large curves and maybe some white nylon for the roof
