Biotensegrity

Biotensegrity Home Page

From the website:

I am an Orthopedic Surgeon with a special interest in Tensegrity biomechanics, biotensegrity.

Tensegrity is a naturally occurring construct first recognized and developed by Ken Snelson and R. Buckminster Fuller in which the compression elements of the construct 'float' in continuous tension network (example: bicycle wheel).

Tensegrity icosahedrons are used to model biologic organisms from viruses to vertebrates, their cells, systems and subsystems.
