<p style="text-align: left;">The Tensegrity Lego is made of collective tensegrity modules to achieve an overall counterbalanced and self standing structure.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">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.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The product of a balanced tension of compression results on modules that are structural and flexible at the same time.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The combination of 15 modules creates a versatile structure that can be used according to the users&#8217; imagination.</p>
