Inverted Bowstring Truss

Has anyone ever heard of or seen such a thing? I stopped by a construction site to check into what I thought I was seeing, and yep - sure enough. Inverted Bowstring Trusses being used to build a religious assembly are for a local church. Trying to get some pictures downloaded from my cell - will post same as soon as I can.

Quite interesting, really. Not sure how they would stand up to fire conditions {i.e. better, worse, or same as traditional applications}. Looking forward to thoughts.
