Tensegrity Icosahedron:
“The six-strut tensegrity icosahedron consists of three sets of parallels with their ends held together in tension. If a pair of three-strut tensegrity octahedra are mildly reorganized in asymmetrical form, they may be combined in two sets of three struts each to form the tensegrity icosahedron. There are 12 terminals of the six struts (the two octahedra combines-- each with three struts of six ends) and when 12 terminals are connected up, the 12 vertexes of the icosahedron appear. There are 20 equilateral triangles of the icosahedron clearly described by the tension members connecting the 12 vertexes in the most economical omnitriangulated pattern.”
