a moment of moving, fluid, rhythmical pleasure to observe: this computationally designed choreography of copper raindrops displayed in Changi airport, two moving parts in unison, mirroring, complimenting, responding to each other in flow, brings forth to me the feelings of moving within a group in flow in CI…flow in life… As well, calls forth a clear example of structural tensigrity that can be related to bio tensigrity, A concept of muscular-skeletal relationships based on the work of architect Buckminster Fuller; refers to the forces of tension (provided by muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia) pulling on structure (bones and joints) that help keep the body both stable with maximum efficiency in mass and movement. (dictionary ref). I wonder what would happen if we were to shorten or lengthen one of the strings on this moving form….? FYI: Structural tensigrity: an architectural principle in which compression and tension are used to give a structure its form. Conceived by R. Buckminster Fuller, it is used to create such structures as geodesic domes and boat sails. tensegrity system: n an interconnected network of structures which use tension and pressure in order to move or retain their shape.
