Tensegrity
Tensegrity is an architectural principle in which compressive and tensile forces are balanced to create static structures. The word is an amalgamation of tension and integrity.I became interested in tenesgrity in 2013 and have been building physical structures and developing methods to simulate them ever since. Tensegrity is not typically employed in architecture, though there are a few examples. More commonly, tensegrity manifests in sculptures. Kenneth Snelson is perhaps the best known creator of tensegrity structures, and either created or played a pivotal role in the development of the concept.
