Tensegrity, the use of internal forces to overcome external forces, as in a self-supporting sculpture.
Cleargreen Incorporated is a for profit corporation founded by Carlos Castaneda in order to promote Tensegrity, a group of movements that he said had been passed down by 25 generations of Toltec shamans.
Since its founding in 2003 by Margaret Wertheim and Christine Wertheim the IFF has staged public lectures in Los Angeles and New York on subjects such as tiling patterns, hyperbolic space, early computational devices, and tensegrity structures.
The structure style displayed is known as "tensegrity," a description given by Snelson's former professor Buckminster Fuller to the melding of tension and structural integrity.
