This tensegrity is based on a rhombicosidodecahedron, an archimedian solid, which consists of 20 triangular faces, 30 square faces , 12 pentagonal faces and 120 edges. We emphasized the diagonals of the squares and connected the endings of each aluminium bar with another bar. The final tensegrity is made of 12 pentagon cells which respectively share one bar. All bars are connected with each other and held in place by thin wires. The bars itself do not touch each other.
TENSion_intEGRITY serves as an experimental project to explore geometrical shapes and their ability to transform into tensegrity structures. A film to demonstrate the assembly will follow soon.
