Tensegrity, short for tensional integrity, is a structural design principle that uses a system of isolated components held together by a network of cables or tendons. This unique arrangement allows the structure to maintain its shape while distributing forces evenly throughout, resulting in a lightweight yet strong configuration. Tensegrity structures can be found in various applications, from architecture to art. The concept of tensegrity was popularized by architect Buckminster Fuller and artist Kenneth Snelson in the mid-20th century. These structures often appear in sculptures and modern buildings, showcasing their aesthetic appeal and engineering efficiency. Tensegrity principles are also studied in biology, where they help explain the stability of cellular structures.
