tensegrity and the geodesic dome

I went to a workshop on November 12, 2015 taught by Mike Metz called “Structure: Tension and Compression”.  At the workshop we learned about Bauhaus, Buckminster Fuller, and his idea of “tensegrity”.  The workshop inspired me to think of innovative ways to approach design.
