The design principle, called tensegrity, seeks to obtain maximum performance with the least amount of material.By definition, it is a system of isolated components under compression inside a network of continuous tension.Members are loaded in either pure compression or pure tension, which means that the structure will only fail if the cables yield or the rods buckle.Biological evolution is efficiency, that means getting the most performance from the least material.Inflatables are excellent for compressive forces and are easily deployable and very compact.The combination of these two technologies makes it possible to create the lightest rigid structures of such proportions.Loading...
