Tensegrity in Motion

This project explores tensegrity structures, combining compression and tension elements to develop flexible, robust systems. Initially inspired by motion-adaptive designs, it evolved into a speculative investigation of movement, environment, and form. By presenting the system as a creature rather than a machine, the project transitions from utility to narrative. It delves into how structure, survival, and speculation can coexist, using tensegrity as a metaphor for flexibility and resilience in harsh settings while serving as a structural technique.
