Tensegrity: Interstabilization of Local Stiffeners:
“Of first interest to engineers and artist-conceivers is the fact that my potential prototypes of satellite- and moon-structures are tensional integrity, omnitriangulated, high-tensile-cabled, spherical nets in which local islands of compression act only as local sprit-stiffeners. The local stiffeners are so oriented that they angle inwardly and outwardly between comprehensively finite, exterior and interior, tensional, spherical nets thus producing positive and negative waves of action and reaction in interstabilized dynamic equilibrium.”
