Making Sense of “Tensegrities”

Year: 2001 Authors: Roger S. Tobie

Core claim

Tensegrities are emergent structures whose geometry and stability require post-Euclidean ideas beyond standard additive notions of sticks and strings.

tensegrity structures, projective geometry, graphical statics, post-Euclidean geometry

Domains

incidence geometry, projective geometry, Euclidean geometry, graphical statics, structural design, visual demonstration, physical modeling

Methods

physical demonstration, perspective drawing, engineering descriptive geometry, graphical computation

Media

sticks, strings, three-stick model, drawings
