    TENSEGRITIES

    Experimental Construction workshop at the Technische Universität Graz

    Subject: Experimenteller Hochbau (Experimental Construction)

    Lecturer: Prof. Peter Schreibmayer, Dep. of Construction (Hochbau)

    Graz (Austria), 2000

     

    tensegrities

     

    The theme of the course was tensegrity structures, in which there is a radical dissociation between the tensioned and compressed parts.

    These structures, difficult to calculate, were explored in an experimental way, through testing and prototyping.

    We worked with full-scale structures and models, testing the different possible configurations, its limits behaving like a tower or a beam, as well as the constructive problem of the knots.
