They are not upside down, that is just the way the "fabric" drapes between them. The truss is moving in the direction away from the "camera" and that is fabric spanning between the trusses. Look at the gods eye sketch again and imagine with this that you are looking straight down the line.. The wire hangers are all there too, but they line up with the crown truss so that you can't see them. The bottom of this, the part under the hard roof, holding it up is likely to be a rigid piece of steel. The center portion, the PTFE will support itself (attached of course to the hangers all around it's perimeter). That is why the "bubble truss" is needed, so it can support itself. The interior rendering is difficult because it is an odd angle and they are trying to mimic some sort of "fish eye lens" effect. It is my guess that because of this it was too difficult for whoever did the rendering to show the trusses and therefore they represented it as a solid monolithic material. I don't think that will be the case in reality, but I have been wrong here before and I will be again I am sure. I am not sure why the fabric has those lines, but it is very possible that the fabric is directional or reinforced with some sort of mesh to improve its structural performance. Again I think the interior rendering is too conceptual and we will not see that much through it, so I don't think we will see that meshing expressed either.
