The word tensegrity results from the contraction of 'tensional' and 'integrity', a word created by Richard Buckminster Fuller. He went on to describe tensegrity structures as 'islands of compression in an ocean of tension', and René Motro has developed a comprehensive definition which is 'systems in a stable self equilibriated system comprising a discontinuous set of compressed components inside a continuum of tensioned components'. This publication represents the life work of a leading exponent of a revolutionary and exciting method of structural design.* Represents the life w

Textile Architektur begeistert die Menschheit weltweit schon seit vielen Jahrhunderten. In den letzten Jahrzehnten und Jahren konnten durch innovative Materialien neue Möglichkeiten geschaffen werden, diesen faszinierenden Werkstoff in der Architektur, im Bauwesen und auch im Design einzusetzen.Textilien faszinieren wegen der besonderen Formen, die diese Gewebestrukturen ermöglichen und aufgrund ihres außergewöhnlichen Charakters als weiche Materialien. Gemeinsam mit ihren funktionalen und konstruktiven Eigenschaften bieten sie ein Leistungsspektrum, das bei spektakulären, wie auch alltäglichen Aufgaben genutzt wird.Das Buch widmet sich den technischen Textilien in drei Teilen: Im ersten Kapitel wird das Material in seinen spezifischen Eigenschaften vorgestellt, das zweite Kapitel befasst sich mit den Anwendungen in den Bereichen Architektur, textile Fassaden, Sonnenschutz und Innenarchitektur unter besonderer Berücksichtigung von Verarbeitungsweisen und Konstruktionsprinzipien. Das dritte Kapitel dokumentiert eine Auswahl von 24 internationalen gebauten Projekten, um die verschiedenen Einsatzgebiete auch unmittelbar zu veranschaulichen. Textile architecture has been captivating humanity for many centuries. In recent years and decades, the emergence of innovative materials has created new opportunities to utilize this fascinating material in the fields of architecture, interior design, and design. Textiles derive their fascination from the special forms these fabric structures make possible and from their unusual character as soft materials. Together with their functional and structural properties, they possess a range of capabilities equally suitable for spectacular and everyday building tasks. This book deals with technical textiles in three sections: in the fi rst chapter, the material is introduced together with its specific properties; the second chapter deals with its uses in the areas of architecture, textile facades, solar protection, and interior design, with special attention to finishing techniques and construction principles. The third chapter illustrates the various fields of application with a selection of some twenty-four international built projects.

The structural morphology working group of the International Association for Shell and Spatial Structures, founded in 1991, has helped to launch several international seminars, newsletters and specific sessions of international conferences devoted to structural morphology. This book contains papers that have been selected either for their fundamental contribution to structural morphology or for their actual pertinence in the field. Polyhedral geometry, double-curved surfaces, biological structures, foldable systems, form-finding techniques, and free form design are some of the topics included
