The Tensegrity Lego

The Tensegrity Lego is made of collective tensegrity modules to achieve an overall counterbalanced and self standing structure.

The structure of each module is achieved by a piece of fabric cut according to a specific geometry generated from Kangaroo, holding four poles along its four edges and eventually creating curvatures between each set of diagonal corners.

The product of a balanced tension of compression results on modules that are structural and flexible at the same time.

The combination of 15 modules creates a versatile structure that can be used according to the users’ imagination.
