Tensegrity structures rely on on tension and compresssion for structual integrity. All natural forms, from atoms to galaxies and human bodies contain tensional (pulling) and compressional (pushing) components. * from Synergetics -> http://www.rwgrayprojects.com/synergetics/s07/p1400.html * jitterbug models -> http://www.newciv.org/Synergetic_Geometry/tjbug.htm) * on a cellular level -> http://www.sciam.com/1998/0198issue/0198ingber.html a brief paper on building models of artificial ocean protzoa http://www.georgehart.com/radiolaria/radiolaria.html (see also notes in [[Second Skin]]) ==== geodesic domes ==== see: [[Geodesic Dome]] ==== "Everything I Know" ==== "During the last two weeks of January 1975 Buckminster Fuller gave an extraordinary series of lectures concerning his entire life's work. These thinking out loud lectures span 42 hours and examine in depth all of Fuller's major inventions and discoveries from the 1927 Dymaxion house, car and bathroom, through the Wichita House, geodesic domes, and tensegrity structures, as well as the contents of Synergetics." annotated/transcribed at http://memeticdrift.net/bucky/ ==== the world game ==== * http://www.worldgame.org/ * vrml http://www.webearth.org/planetwork/ ==== related/tangental ==== http://www.arlingtoninstitute.org/about_tai/index.html ---- Libarynth > Libarynth Web > BuckminsterFuller r12 - 01 Sep 2006 - 11:10 ----Please fill all the letters into the box to prove you're human.
