This paper applies tensegrity to create an architectural structure such as those that could be used for sportsarenas or other buildings requiring large, open spaces. This proposal generates an external tensegrity ríng witha ...

This paper discusses a deployable-arch-structure design that is built using articulated bars, commonly called a scissor-system, and is based on the regular polygon geometry. The deployed-arch shape can be determined by ...

In regard to increasing reports toward severe comfort problems and high energy consumption by educational buildings in many countries, a sustainable refurbishment for these edifices is urgently required. Using Intelligent ...

The current prototype’s key contribution to the field of light-weight structures is that it is the first time that a pure tensegrity ring has been used in place of a compression ring. This design features a cladding ...
