The development of the design of a new tree-like tensegrity sculpture, the Tensegritree, is described. The Tensegritree will provide a permanent memorial celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the University of Kent, and the 10th Anniversary of the founding of Kent School of Architecture. The tree-like conceptual form emerged from a workshop with students at the University of Kent; based on the concept, a final form was developed, simplified, optimized and realized: The final sculpture will have a height of 7 m, and a diameter of 12 m, and is due to be installed in July 2015.

Abstract
The development of the design of a new tree-like tensegrity sculpture, the Tensegritree, is described. The Tensegritree will provide a permanent memorial celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the University of Kent, and the 10th Anniversary of the founding of Kent School of Architecture. The tree-like conceptual form emerged from a workshop with students at the University of Kent; based on the concept, a final form was developed, simplified, optimized and realized: The final sculpture will have a height of 7 m, and a diameter of 12 m, and is due to be installed in July 2015.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
