AppendicesThe word tensegrity results from the contraction of tensional and integrity, a word created by Richard Buckminster Fuller. He went on to describe tensegrity structures as islands of compression in an ocean of tension, and Reň Motro has developed a comprehensive definition which is systems in a stable self equilibriated system comprising a discontinuous set of compressed components inside a continuum of tensioned components. This publication represents the life work of a leading exponent of a revolutionary and exciting method of structural design. * Represents the life work of a leading exponent of a revolutionary and exciting method of structural design * Applicable to architecture as an established structural system, can also be applied to other fields * Design professionals will be able to design better structures. Interested non-professionals will experience the great pleasure of being able to say "I understand why the Hisshorn tower stands up"Electronic reproduction.Amsterdam :Elsevier Science & Technology,2007.Mode of access: World Wide Web.System requirements: Web browser.Title from title screen (viewed on Aug. 2, 2007).Access may be restricted to users at subscribing institutionsGeodesic domesStructural analysis (Engineering)Electronic books.localOriginal19039963769781903996379(DLC) 2003007305(OCoLC)53325359Referexhttp://www.sciencedirect.com/science/book/9781903996379An electronic book accessible through the World Wide Web; click for informationTable of contents onlyhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/toc/ecip042/2003007305.htmlBook review (E-STREAMS)http://www.e-streams.com/es0805/es0805%5F4106.htmlPublisher descriptionhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0614/2003007305-d.html.b1365426303-03-2224-01-08991003242949707536Tensegrity990831UNISALENTOle02624-01-08m@ -engenk00
