Overhead Tensegrity
Structural design and engineering2012
Honorable Mention
@Korean Structural Engineers
structure design competition
Role: Design development, production
Collaboration: Seung Jong Kwak, Tae Hwan Kim
Design concept: long span structures
Prior condition
(1) Increasing the stiffness of beams
(2) Pulling distributed loads up to independent points
(2) Pulling distributed loads up to independent points
New Proposal
Structure concept
Optimizing stress
Height proportion as per the optimized angle
Step1. Arranging tensegrity units elements in a row
Step2. Posting independent vertical struts at each in-between point
Step3. Combining them with tension cable
Step2. Posting independent vertical struts at each in-between point
Step3. Combining them with tension cable
Linear modules of units’ arrangement in horizontal, vertical, diagonal directions
Each bearing point has classified into two parts; the main module manages loads of the whole plate and the allocated module which disperses the loads equally and consists of tensegrity form. The main module will manage the loads carried from the allocated module connected with cables and intermediate struts.
Structure composition and
circulation for pedastrian
