520 1 $a"This book is the first to provide an in-depth investigation of tensegrity systems from a structural point of view using the law of mechanics for general pin-jointed systems with mechanisms. The inherent load-transfer properties are presented and the concepts are extended to cable-strut systems through a family of structurally efficient grid types. It also provides the first systematic study on the use of cable-strut polyhedra as building blocks and presents new engineering solutions by using lightweight grids and deployable functions, and shows how to extensively express polyhedral art in architecture with new concepts and a wide variety of new forms."--BOOK JACKET.
