Tensegrity Structure by Conarch Architects | Conarch Architects
Rajnagar / India / 2015
0
Located in an open to sky courtyard of an office building designed by Conarch Architects, the sculpture is viewed from the surrounding passageways within the building. This 16 Ft tall tapered sculpture of aluminium tubes and steel cables is an example of tensional integrity, hence, Tensegrity structure. None of the tubes are connected to each other, instead the cables running throughout the assembly hold it erect in perfect balance with the means of tension and compression forces. It took nearly 2 months of diving into underlying geometry and form study before a prototype was attempted. On achieving the basic form, iterations were carried out to experiment with its taper.
