Prestressed Concrete Sequence:
“I began to initiate such a ‘regenerative tree’ √See Trees strategy in experimental undertakings in structures about a third of a century ago. I gave myself the task of exploring the practicality of assembling the components of buildings under the most preferred conditions of technology and science, in order to achieve a very high degree of efficiency. This collection of components had to be capable of economical air transport to any part of the Earth. I saw that the essentials were local hydraulics and pneumatics and generalized tensional packages-- broadly speaking. Familiar examples of this are all kinds of pneumatic structures, from inflatable toy sea horses and life rafts to dirigibles. Beyond these, there are very complex structures. For examples, I have made geodesic domes-- omnitriangulated spheres-- with pneumatic components. Geodesic tensegrity spheres are highly magnified, pneumatic principle structures.”
