Tensegrity
Version 1.0.0 · Updated 2026-07-30
CORE DEFINITION
Abbreviation for Tensional Integrity. A structural principle that achieves stability without rigid connections through the complementarity of compressed members (bars) and tensioned members (cables).
SCAFFOLDING EFFECT
Reduce cognitive load
Flexible organizational architecture. It metaphorically represents an organizational form that does not rely on hierarchical coercion (rigid connections) but is maintained by the pull of vision and the push of responsibility (tension balance). This structure is lighter and more resilient.
Anchor fast decisions
Tensegrity is a self-balancing structure composed of discrete compressed members and a continuous tensioned cable network. The members do not touch each other and overall stability is achieved through tension, obtaining high stiffness with minimal material.
