| TENSION INTEGRITY
(TENSEGRITY) GEODESIC STRUCTURES |
 |
 |
| Fuller found ways to minimize the weight & cost of structures by maximizing the
tension & minimizing the compression elements. |
| He called it
tension integrity or "tensegrity". |
| Using these
techniques it is possible to build structures of unlimited size! |
