Tensegrity Structures and their Application to Architecture

Tensegrity structures are really intriguing: bars floating in the air, without any contact to a solid support, attached only by wires to other bars… that are also floating in the air! The aim of this work is to serve as an introduction to such an atypical kind of structure. It tries to explain everything about the controversial origins and polemic fatherhood; tensegrities from various fields, other than Architecture, structural principles, characteristics, advantages and weakness; precedent and current works and patents; and finally, some new proposals, proving that it is possible to find some applications to architectural and engineering purposes. In conclusion, this work tries to be a guide and reference to a new world of structural possibilities that is blooming and finding its path.

Tensegrity structures are pre-stressed systems of cables and bars in which no bar is connected to the other and the structure has no continuous rigid skeleton. This general introduction presents an original general method for the design of tensegrity structures, the first configurations of which were found by trial and error. The book begins with two-dimensional tensegrity structures, particularly tensegrity nets, tensegrity chains, tensegrity rings and tensegrity arches. These are then developed to original configurations of spatial tensegrity structures such as tensegrity slabs, primitive spatial tensegrity arches, and primitive tensegrity domes, as well as more elaborate spatial tensegrit...

Project Report from the year 2017 in the subject Engineering - General, grade: 1,7, Hochschule Ostwestfalen-Lippe - University of Applied Sciences, language: English, abstract: Until now, tensegrity structures receive less importance in civil engineering, but they are more po- pular with the visual arts. Tensegrities are of interest in structural design studies because of their lightweight property, aesthetic and modern look. Usually, the structures are built in such a way that struts are connected, which might not be the original definition for tensegrity. Open tensegrity systems must, in order to be stable, provide forces to the foundation or to secondary constructions that are beyond the ...

Tensegridad

El experto realiza en la obra un completo estudio sobre unas estructuras asombrosas y espectaculares, que constan de barras que flotan en el aire, estando únicamente sujetas mediante cables a otras barras que también flotan. Estos sistemas de compresión flotante tienen múltiples aplicaciones en arquitectura, arte, ingeniería... y están presentes en obras como la escultura “Torre de Agujas” de Kenneth Snelson (formada por estas barras flotantes) o la mayor cúpula del mundo, la cúpula del Georgia Dome, estadio de los Falcons de Atlanta, teniendo sus precedentes en el Estadio Olímpico de Munich
