Tensegrities are a type of structure which make use of both tensional (keeping things together) and compressive (holding things apart) forces. The balance of these forces enables them to remain stable, and always return to their original shape.
Our explorations have brought up a number of issues in relation to materiality and construction, and different forms of tensegrity, and have included 2D and 3D structures, as well as large tensegrities which take teamwork to build.
We will be uploading resources here, including 3D printable parts for tensegrities, and links to other interesting projects.
