London ; New York: English View all editions and formats Summary: The inherent load-transfer properties are presented and the concepts are extended to cable-strut systems through a family of structurally efficient grid types. It also provides the first systematic study on the use of cable-strut polyhedra as building blocks and presents new engineering solutions by using lightweight grids and deployable functions, and shows how to extensively express polyhedral art in architecture with new concepts and a wide variety of new forms.

They also enable the creation of different shaped spaces allowing architects more scope for innovation. From Tensegrity Systems to Cable-strut Systems provides the background engineering needed to produce these wonderful structures. Providing a complete background to the underlying structural engineering theories of tensegrity, this book will prove invaluable for all architects and engineers working on tensile structures.
