Tensegrity

As well as contributing significantly to the development of tensegrity technology, Fuller invented the term " tensegrity " from tensional integrity.

Here the term "Dymaxion" is used in effect to signify a "radically strong and light tensegrity structure".

In structural engineering, the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology ( EPFL ) has incorporated biomimetic characteristics in an adaptive deployable "tensegrity" bridge.

This is an architecture described as "an inhabitable cloud whirling above a lake", built with an atmosphere of fog surrounding a lightweight tensegrity structure convert.
