peer agreement (net): +2See definition below Explanation: Tensegrities are structures invented by Richard Buckminster Fuller. "The word 'tensegrity' is an invention: a contraction of 'tensional integrity.' Tensegrity describes a structural-relationship principle in which structural shape is guaranteed by the finitely closed, comprehensively continuous, tensional behaviors of the system and not by the discontinuous and exclusively local compressional member behaviors. Tensegrity provides the ability to yield increasingly without ultimately breaking or coming asunder." Reference: http://www.insite.com.br/rodrigo/bucky/tensegrity.html |
