Welcome, readers of the book &amp;quot;[http://www.tensegrityinbiology.co.uk/ Biotensegrity];&amp;quot; enjoy our new [[:Category:Portal to Biotensegrity|Portal to Biotensegrity]].&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Biotensegrity by Graham Scarr book cover [http://www.tensegrityinbiology.co.uk/]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=What is tensegrity?= &lt;br /&gt;
Tensegrity is the way the world organizes itself. Build or buy a model and experience it yourself!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Why learn about it?= &lt;br /&gt;
Whatever your goal in life, it's good to understand how the world works. Tensegrity, discovered about 60 years ago, is a new way of understanding forces at play. Whether you are building a business, designing household objects, building robots, or trying to live sustainably in a resource-challenged world, tensegrity offers innovative ways of thinking about how parts and wholes interact.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=What is Tensegrity Wiki, The Encyclopedia of Tensegrity?= &lt;br /&gt;
This website is a wiki dedicated to exploring the field of tensegrity, a subset of energetic-synergetic geometry. It is intended to use the &amp;quot;power of crowds&amp;quot; to fine-tune and make available accurate knowledge about tensegrities. This includes all aspects of tensegrity including structural tensegrity sculptures, dynamically adjusting tensegrity robotics, biotensegrity as expressed in cellular mechanics, biotensegrity as expressed in mammalian anatomical fascial/bone structure, tensegrity therapy as a set of mind-body practices, tensegrity as it illuminates ancient philosophies of harmony, music and dance inspired by tensegrity, and so on.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=How do I get started?= &lt;br /&gt;
Dive into one of our categories, which organize the entries into themes, or access one of our most popular pages: [[Chronology of Tensegrity]], [[Bridge]], [[3 struts]], [[Icosahedron]], [[Bicycle Wheel]], [[How To Build A 30 Strut Soda Straw Dodecahedron]], [[How To Build A 3 Strut Copper Base for a Table]], [[Furniture]], [[Arch]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Or write your own entry!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Who can contribute?== &lt;br /&gt;
* University students using the wiki in their studies&lt;br /&gt;
* Anyone.&lt;br /&gt;
* Language? A lot of important work in tensegrity is being conducted as tenségrité (French), tensegridad (Spanish), Tensintegro (Italian), טנסגריטי (Hebrew). But multi-language support is not enabled on this wiki. For now, let's store articles in other languages along with the English ones.&lt;br /&gt;
* Questions? Contact tensegritywiki at gmail, the Wiki moderator.&lt;br /&gt;

=What is tensegrity?= &lt;br /&gt;
Tensegrity is the way the world organizes itself. Build or buy a model and experience it yourself!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Why learn about it?= &lt;br /&gt;
Whatever your goal in life, it's good to understand how the world works. Tensegrity, discovered about 60 years ago, is a new way of understanding forces at play. Whether you are building a business, designing household objects, building robots, or trying to live sustainably in a resource-challenged world, tensegrity offers innovative ways of thinking about how parts and wholes interact.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=What is Tensegrity Wiki, The Encyclopedia of Tensegrity?= &lt;br /&gt;
This website is a wiki dedicated to exploring the field of tensegrity, a subset of energetic-synergetic geometry. It is intended to use the &amp;quot;power of crowds&amp;quot; to fine-tune and make available accurate knowledge about tensegrities. This includes all aspects of tensegrity including structural tensegrity sculptures, dynamically adjusting tensegrity robotics, biotensegrity as expressed in cellular mechanics, biotensegrity as expressed in mammalian anatomical fascial/bone structure, tensegrity therapy as a set of mind-body practices, tensegrity as it illuminates ancient philosophies of harmony, music and dance inspired by tensegrity, and so on.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=How do I get started?= &lt;br /&gt;
Dive into one of our categories, which organize the entries into themes, or access one of our most popular pages: [[Chronology of Tensegrity]], [[Bridge]], [[3 struts]], [[Icosahedron]], [[Bicycle Wheel]], [[How To Build A 30 Strut Soda Straw Dodecahedron]], [[How To Build A 3 Strut Copper Base for a Table]], [[Furniture]], [[Arch]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Or write your own entry!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Welcome, readers of the book &amp;quot;[http://www.tensegrityinbiology.co.uk/ Biotensegrity];&amp;quot; enjoy our new [[:Category:Portal to Biotensegrity|Portal to Biotensegrity]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Biotensegrity by Graham Scarr book cover [http://www.tensegrityinbiology.co.uk/]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=What is tensegrity?= &lt;br /&gt;
Tensegrity is the way the world organizes itself. Build or buy a model and experience it yourself!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Why learn about it?= &lt;br /&gt;
Whatever your goal in life, it's good to understand how the world works. Tensegrity, discovered about 60 years ago, is a new way of understanding forces at play. Whether you are building a business, designing household objects, building robots, or trying to live sustainably in a resource-challenged world, tensegrity offers innovative ways of thinking about how parts and wholes interact.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=What is Tensegrity Wiki, The Encyclopedia of Tensegrity?= &lt;br /&gt;
This website is a wiki dedicated to exploring the field of tensegrity, a subset of energetic-synergetic geometry. It is intended to use the &amp;quot;power of crowds&amp;quot; to fine-tune and make available accurate knowledge about tensegrities. This includes all aspects of tensegrity including structural tensegrity sculptures, dynamically adjusting tensegrity robotics, biotensegrity as expressed in cellular mechanics, biotensegrity as expressed in mammalian anatomical fascial/bone structure, tensegrity therapy as a set of mind-body practices, tensegrity as it illuminates ancient philosophies of harmony, music and dance inspired by tensegrity, and so on.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=How do I get started?= &lt;br /&gt;
Dive into one of our categories, which organize the entries into themes, or access one of our most popular pages: [[Chronology of Tensegrity]], [[Bridge]], [[3 struts]], [[Icosahedron]], [[Bicycle Wheel]], [[How To Build A 30 Strut Soda Straw Dodecahedron]], [[How To Build A 3 Strut Copper Base for a Table]], [[Furniture]], [[Arch]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Or write your own entry!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Who can contribute?== &lt;br /&gt;
* University students using the wiki in their studies&lt;br /&gt;
* Anyone.&lt;br /&gt;
* Language? A lot of important work in tensegrity is being conducted as tenségrité (French), tensegridad (Spanish), Tensintegro (Italian), טנסגריטי (Hebrew). But multi-language support is not enabled on this wiki. For now, let's store articles in other languages along with the English ones.&lt;br /&gt;
* Questions? Contact tensegritywiki at gmail, the Wiki moderator.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Biotensegrity by Graham Scarr book cover [http://www.tensegrityinbiology.co.uk/]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=What is tensegrity?= &lt;br /&gt;
Tensegrity is the way the world organizes itself. Build or buy a model and experience it yourself!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Why learn about it?= &lt;br /&gt;
Whatever your goal in life, it's good to understand how the world works. Tensegrity, discovered about 60 years ago, is a new way of understanding forces at play. Whether you are building a business, designing household objects, building robots, or trying to live sustainably in a resource-challenged world, tensegrity offers innovative ways of thinking about how parts and wholes interact.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=What is Tensegrity Wiki, The Encyclopedia of Tensegrity?= &lt;br /&gt;
This website is a wiki dedicated to exploring the field of tensegrity, a subset of energetic-synergetic geometry. It is intended to use the &amp;quot;power of crowds&amp;quot; to fine-tune and make available accurate knowledge about tensegrities. This includes all aspects of tensegrity including structural tensegrity sculptures, dynamically adjusting tensegrity robotics, biotensegrity as expressed in cellular mechanics, biotensegrity as expressed in mammalian anatomical fascial/bone structure, tensegrity therapy as a set of mind-body practices, tensegrity as it illuminates ancient philosophies of harmony, music and dance inspired by tensegrity, and so on.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=How do I get started?= &lt;br /&gt;
Dive into one of our categories, which organize the entries into themes, or access one of our most popular pages: [[Chronology of Tensegrity]], [[Bridge]], [[3 struts]], [[Icosahedron]], [[Bicycle Wheel]], [[How To Build A 30 Strut Soda Straw Dodecahedron]], [[How To Build A 3 Strut Copper Base for a Table]], [[Furniture]], [[Arch]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Or write your own entry!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Who can contribute?== &lt;br /&gt;
* University students using the wiki in their studies&lt;br /&gt;
* Anyone.&lt;br /&gt;
* Language? A lot of important work in tensegrity is being conducted as tenségrité (French), tensegridad (Spanish), Tensintegro (Italian), טנסגריטי (Hebrew). But multi-language support is not enabled on this wiki. For now, let's store articles in other languages along with the English ones.&lt;br /&gt;

Welcome, readers of the book &amp;quot;[http://www.tensegrityinbiology.co.uk/ Biotensegrity];&amp;quot; enjoy our new [[:Category:Portal to Biotensegrity|Portal to Biotensegrity]].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=What is tensegrity?= &lt;br /&gt;
Tensegrity is the way the world organizes itself. Build or buy a model and experience it yourself!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Why learn about it?= &lt;br /&gt;
Whatever your goal in life, it's good to understand how the world works. Tensegrity, discovered about 60 years ago, is a new way of understanding forces at play. Whether you are building a business, designing household objects, building robots, or trying to live sustainably in a resource-challenged world, tensegrity offers innovative ways of thinking about how parts and wholes interact.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=What is Tensegrity Wiki, The Encyclopedia of Tensegrity?= &lt;br /&gt;
This website is a wiki dedicated to exploring the field of tensegrity, a subset of energetic-synergetic geometry. It is intended to use the &amp;quot;power of crowds&amp;quot; to fine-tune and make available accurate knowledge about tensegrities. This includes all aspects of tensegrity including structural tensegrity sculptures, dynamically adjusting tensegrity robotics, biotensegrity as expressed in cellular mechanics, biotensegrity as expressed in mammalian anatomical fascial/bone structure, tensegrity therapy as a set of mind-body practices, tensegrity as it illuminates ancient philosophies of harmony, music and dance inspired by tensegrity, and so on.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=How do I get started?= &lt;br /&gt;
Dive into one of our categories, which organize the entries into themes, or access one of our most popular pages: [[Chronology of Tensegrity]], [[Bridge]], [[3 struts]], [[Icosahedron]], [[Bicycle Wheel]], [[How To Build A 30 Strut Soda Straw Dodecahedron]], [[How To Build A 3 Strut Copper Base for a Table]], [[Furniture]], [[Arch]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Or write your own entry!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Who can contribute?== &lt;br /&gt;
* University students using the wiki in their studies&lt;br /&gt;
* Anyone.&lt;br /&gt;
* Language? A lot of important work in tensegrity is being conducted as tenségrité (French), tensegridad (Spanish), Tensintegro (Italian), טנסגריטי (Hebrew). But multi-language support is not enabled on this wiki. For now, let's store articles in other languages along with the English ones.&lt;br /&gt;
* Questions? Contact tensegritywiki at gmail, the Wiki moderator.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Biotensegrity by Graham Scarr book cover [http://www.tensegrityinbiology.co.uk/]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=What is tensegrity?= &lt;br /&gt;
Tensegrity is the way the world organizes itself. Build or buy a model and experience it yourself!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Why learn about it?= &lt;br /&gt;
Whatever your goal in life, it's good to understand how the world works. Tensegrity, discovered about 60 years ago, is a new way of understanding forces at play. Whether you are building a business, designing household objects, building robots, or trying to live sustainably in a resource-challenged world, tensegrity offers innovative ways of thinking about how parts and wholes interact.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=What is Tensegrity Wiki, The Encyclopedia of Tensegrity?= &lt;br /&gt;
This website is a wiki dedicated to exploring the field of tensegrity, a subset of energetic-synergetic geometry. It is intended to use the &amp;quot;power of crowds&amp;quot; to fine-tune and make available accurate knowledge about tensegrities. This includes all aspects of tensegrity including structural tensegrity sculptures, dynamically adjusting tensegrity robotics, biotensegrity as expressed in cellular mechanics, biotensegrity as expressed in mammalian anatomical fascial/bone structure, tensegrity therapy as a set of mind-body practices, tensegrity as it illuminates ancient philosophies of harmony, music and dance inspired by tensegrity, and so on.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=How do I get started?= &lt;br /&gt;
Dive into one of our categories, which organize the entries into themes, or access one of our most popular pages: [[Chronology of Tensegrity]], [[Bridge]], [[3 struts]], [[Icosahedron]], [[Bicycle Wheel]], [[How To Build A 30 Strut Soda Straw Dodecahedron]], [[How To Build A 3 Strut Copper Base for a Table]], [[Furniture]], [[Arch]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Or write your own entry!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Who can contribute?== &lt;br /&gt;
* University students using the wiki in their studies&lt;br /&gt;
* Anyone.&lt;br /&gt;
* Language? A lot of important work in tensegrity is being conducted as tenségrité (French), tensegridad (Spanish), Tensintegro (Italian), טנסגריטי (Hebrew). But multi-language support is not enabled on this wiki. For now, let's store articles in other languages along with the English ones.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Biotensegrity by Graham Scarr book cover [http://www.tensegrityinbiology.co.uk/]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=What is tensegrity?= &lt;br /&gt;
Tensegrity is the way the world organizes itself. Build or buy a model and experience it yourself!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Why learn about it?= &lt;br /&gt;
Whatever your goal in life, it's good to understand how the world works. Tensegrity, discovered about 60 years ago, is a new way of understanding forces at play. Whether you are building a business, designing household objects, building robots, or trying to live sustainably in a resource-challenged world, tensegrity offers innovative ways of thinking about how parts and wholes interact.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=What is Tensegrity Wiki, The Encyclopedia of Tensegrity?= &lt;br /&gt;
This website is a wiki dedicated to exploring the field of tensegrity, a subset of energetic-synergetic geometry. It is intended to use the &amp;quot;power of crowds&amp;quot; to fine-tune and make available accurate knowledge about tensegrities. This includes all aspects of tensegrity including structural tensegrity sculptures, dynamically adjusting tensegrity robotics, biotensegrity as expressed in cellular mechanics, biotensegrity as expressed in mammalian anatomical fascial/bone structure, tensegrity therapy as a set of mind-body practices, tensegrity as it illuminates ancient philosophies of harmony, music and dance inspired by tensegrity, and so on.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=How do I get started?= &lt;br /&gt;
Dive into one of our categories, which organize the entries into themes, or access one of our most popular pages: [[Chronology of Tensegrity]], [[Bridge]], [[3 struts]], [[Icosahedron]], [[Bicycle Wheel]], [[How To Build A 30 Strut Soda Straw Dodecahedron]], [[How To Build A 3 Strut Copper Base for a Table]], [[Furniture]], [[Arch]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Or write your own entry!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Who can contribute?== &lt;br /&gt;
* University students using the wiki in their studies&lt;br /&gt;
* Anyone.&lt;br /&gt;
* Language? A lot of important work in tensegrity is being conducted as tenségrité (French), tensegridad (Spanish), Tensintegro (Italian), טנסגריטי (Hebrew). But multi-language support is not enabled on this wiki. For now, let's store articles in other languages along with the English ones.&lt;br /&gt;
* Questions? Contact tensegritywiki at gmail, the Wiki moderator.&lt;br /&gt;

Welcome, readers of the book &amp;quot;[http://www.tensegrityinbiology.co.uk/ Biotensegrity];&amp;quot; enjoy our new [[:Category:Portal to Biotensegrity|Portal to Biotensegrity]].&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Biotensegrity by Graham Scarr book cover [http://www.tensegrityinbiology.co.uk/]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=What is tensegrity?= &lt;br /&gt;
Tensegrity is the way the world organizes itself. Build or buy a model and experience it yourself!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Why learn about it?= &lt;br /&gt;
Whatever your goal in life, it's good to understand how the world works. Tensegrity, discovered about 60 years ago, is a new way of understanding forces at play. Whether you are building a business, designing household objects, building robots, or trying to live sustainably in a resource-challenged world, tensegrity offers innovative ways of thinking about how parts and wholes interact.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=What is Tensegrity Wiki, The Encyclopedia of Tensegrity?= &lt;br /&gt;
This website is a wiki dedicated to exploring the field of tensegrity, a subset of energetic-synergetic geometry. It is intended to use the &amp;quot;power of crowds&amp;quot; to fine-tune and make available accurate knowledge about tensegrities. This includes all aspects of tensegrity including structural tensegrity sculptures, dynamically adjusting tensegrity robotics, biotensegrity as expressed in cellular mechanics, biotensegrity as expressed in mammalian anatomical fascial/bone structure, tensegrity therapy as a set of mind-body practices, tensegrity as it illuminates ancient philosophies of harmony, music and dance inspired by tensegrity, and so on.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=How do I get started?= &lt;br /&gt;
Dive into one of our categories, which organize the entries into themes, or access one of our most popular pages: [[Chronology of Tensegrity]], [[Bridge]], [[3 struts]], [[Icosahedron]], [[Bicycle Wheel]], [[How To Build A 30 Strut Soda Straw Dodecahedron]], [[How To Build A 3 Strut Copper Base for a Table]], [[Furniture]], [[Arch]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Or write your own entry!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Who can contribute?== &lt;br /&gt;
* University students using the wiki in their studies&lt;br /&gt;
* Anyone.&lt;br /&gt;
* Language? A lot of important work in tensegrity is being conducted as tenségrité (French), tensegridad (Spanish), Tensintegro (Italian), טנסגריטי (Hebrew). But multi-language support is not enabled on this wiki. For now, let's store articles in other languages along with the English ones.&lt;br /&gt;
* Questions? Contact tensegritywiki at gmail, the Wiki moderator.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Biotensegrity by Graham Scarr book cover [http://www.tensegrityinbiology.co.uk/]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=What is tensegrity?= &lt;br /&gt;
Tensegrity is the way the world organizes itself. Build or buy a model and experience it yourself!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Why learn about it?= &lt;br /&gt;
Whatever your goal in life, it's good to understand how the world works. Tensegrity, discovered about 60 years ago, is a new way of understanding forces at play. Whether you are building a business, designing household objects, building robots, or trying to live sustainably in a resource-challenged world, tensegrity offers innovative ways of thinking about how parts and wholes interact.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=What is Tensegrity Wiki, The Encyclopedia of Tensegrity?= &lt;br /&gt;
This website is a wiki dedicated to exploring the field of tensegrity, a subset of energetic-synergetic geometry. It is intended to use the &amp;quot;power of crowds&amp;quot; to fine-tune and make available accurate knowledge about tensegrities. This includes all aspects of tensegrity including structural tensegrity sculptures, dynamically adjusting tensegrity robotics, biotensegrity as expressed in cellular mechanics, biotensegrity as expressed in mammalian anatomical fascial/bone structure, tensegrity therapy as a set of mind-body practices, tensegrity as it illuminates ancient philosophies of harmony, music and dance inspired by tensegrity, and so on.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=How do I get started?= &lt;br /&gt;
Dive into one of our categories, which organize the entries into themes, or access one of our most popular pages: [[Chronology of Tensegrity]], [[Bridge]], [[3 struts]], [[Icosahedron]], [[Bicycle Wheel]], [[How To Build A 30 Strut Soda Straw Dodecahedron]], [[How To Build A 3 Strut Copper Base for a Table]], [[Furniture]], [[Arch]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Or write your own entry!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Who can contribute?== &lt;br /&gt;
* University students using the wiki in their studies&lt;br /&gt;
* Anyone.&lt;br /&gt;
* Language? A lot of important work in tensegrity is being conducted as tenségrité (French), tensegridad (Spanish), Tensintegro (Italian), טנסגריטי (Hebrew). But multi-language support is not enabled on this wiki. For now, let's store articles in other languages along with the English ones.&lt;br /&gt;
* Questions? Contact tensegritywiki at gmail, the Wiki moderator.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=What is tensegrity?= &lt;br /&gt;
Tensegrity is the way the world organizes itself. Build or buy a model and experience it yourself!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Why learn about it?= &lt;br /&gt;
Whatever your goal in life, it's good to understand how the world works. Tensegrity, discovered about 60 years ago, is a new way of understanding forces at play. Whether you are building a business, designing household objects, building robots, or trying to live sustainably in a resource-challenged world, tensegrity offers innovative ways of thinking about how parts and wholes interact.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=What is Tensegrity Wiki, The Encyclopedia of Tensegrity?= &lt;br /&gt;
This website is a wiki dedicated to exploring the field of tensegrity, a subset of energetic-synergetic geometry. It is intended to use the &amp;quot;power of crowds&amp;quot; to fine-tune and make available accurate knowledge about tensegrities. This includes all aspects of tensegrity including structural tensegrity sculptures, dynamically adjusting tensegrity robotics, biotensegrity as expressed in cellular mechanics, biotensegrity as expressed in mammalian anatomical fascial/bone structure, tensegrity therapy as a set of mind-body practices, tensegrity as it illuminates ancient philosophies of harmony, music and dance inspired by tensegrity, and so on.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=How do I get started?= &lt;br /&gt;
Dive into one of our categories, which organize the entries into themes, or access one of our most popular pages: [[Chronology of Tensegrity]], [[Bridge]], [[3 struts]], [[Icosahedron]], [[Bicycle Wheel]], [[How To Build A 30 Strut Soda Straw Dodecahedron]], [[How To Build A 3 Strut Copper Base for a Table]], [[Furniture]], [[Arch]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Or write your own entry!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Who can contribute?== &lt;br /&gt;
* University students using the wiki in their studies&lt;br /&gt;
* Anyone.&lt;br /&gt;
* Language? A lot of important work in tensegrity is being conducted as tenségrité (French), tensegridad (Spanish), Tensintegro (Italian), טנסגריטי (Hebrew). But multi-language support is not enabled on this wiki. For now, let's store articles in other languages along with the English ones.&lt;br /&gt;
* Questions? Contact tensegritywiki at gmail, the Wiki moderator.&lt;br /&gt;

Welcome, readers of the book &amp;quot;[http://www.tensegrityinbiology.co.uk/ Biotensegrity];&amp;quot; enjoy our new [[:Category:Portal to Biotensegrity|Portal to Biotensegrity]].&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Biotensegrity by Graham Scarr book cover [http://www.tensegrityinbiology.co.uk/]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=What is tensegrity?= &lt;br /&gt;
Tensegrity is the way the world organizes itself. Build or buy a model and experience it yourself!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Why learn about it?= &lt;br /&gt;
Whatever your goal in life, it's good to understand how the world works. Tensegrity, discovered about 60 years ago, is a new way of understanding forces at play. Whether you are building a business, designing household objects, building robots, or trying to live sustainably in a resource-challenged world, tensegrity offers innovative ways of thinking about how parts and wholes interact.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=What is Tensegrity Wiki, The Encyclopedia of Tensegrity?= &lt;br /&gt;
This website is a wiki dedicated to exploring the field of tensegrity, a subset of energetic-synergetic geometry. It is intended to use the &amp;quot;power of crowds&amp;quot; to fine-tune and make available accurate knowledge about tensegrities. This includes all aspects of tensegrity including structural tensegrity sculptures, dynamically adjusting tensegrity robotics, biotensegrity as expressed in cellular mechanics, biotensegrity as expressed in mammalian anatomical fascial/bone structure, tensegrity therapy as a set of mind-body practices, tensegrity as it illuminates ancient philosophies of harmony, music and dance inspired by tensegrity, and so on.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=How do I get started?= &lt;br /&gt;
Dive into one of our categories, which organize the entries into themes, or access one of our most popular pages: [[Chronology of Tensegrity]], [[Bridge]], [[3 struts]], [[Icosahedron]], [[Bicycle Wheel]], [[How To Build A 30 Strut Soda Straw Dodecahedron]], [[How To Build A 3 Strut Copper Base for a Table]], [[Furniture]], [[Arch]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Or write your own entry!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Who can contribute?== &lt;br /&gt;
* University students using the wiki in their studies&lt;br /&gt;
* Anyone.&lt;br /&gt;
* Language? A lot of important work in tensegrity is being conducted as tenségrité (French), tensegridad (Spanish), Tensintegro (Italian), טנסגריטי (Hebrew). But multi-language support is not enabled on this wiki. For now, let's store articles in other languages along with the English ones.&lt;br /&gt;
* Questions? Contact tensegritywiki at gmail, the Wiki moderator.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Biotensegrity by Graham Scarr book cover [http://www.tensegrityinbiology.co.uk/]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=What is tensegrity?= &lt;br /&gt;
Tensegrity is the way the world organizes itself. Build or buy a model and experience it yourself!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Why learn about it?= &lt;br /&gt;
Whatever your goal in life, it's good to understand how the world works. Tensegrity, discovered about 60 years ago, is a new way of understanding forces at play. Whether you are building a business, designing household objects, building robots, or trying to live sustainably in a resource-challenged world, tensegrity offers innovative ways of thinking about how parts and wholes interact.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=What is Tensegrity Wiki, The Encyclopedia of Tensegrity?= &lt;br /&gt;
This website is a wiki dedicated to exploring the field of tensegrity, a subset of energetic-synergetic geometry. It is intended to use the &amp;quot;power of crowds&amp;quot; to fine-tune and make available accurate knowledge about tensegrities. This includes all aspects of tensegrity including structural tensegrity sculptures, dynamically adjusting tensegrity robotics, biotensegrity as expressed in cellular mechanics, biotensegrity as expressed in mammalian anatomical fascial/bone structure, tensegrity therapy as a set of mind-body practices, tensegrity as it illuminates ancient philosophies of harmony, music and dance inspired by tensegrity, and so on.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=How do I get started?= &lt;br /&gt;
Dive into one of our categories, which organize the entries into themes, or access one of our most popular pages: [[Chronology of Tensegrity]], [[Bridge]], [[3 struts]], [[Icosahedron]], [[Bicycle Wheel]], [[How To Build A 30 Strut Soda Straw Dodecahedron]], [[How To Build A 3 Strut Copper Base for a Table]], [[Furniture]], [[Arch]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Or write your own entry!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Who can contribute?== &lt;br /&gt;
* University students using the wiki in their studies&lt;br /&gt;
* Anyone.&lt;br /&gt;
* Language? A lot of important work in tensegrity is being conducted as tenségrité (French), tensegridad (Spanish), Tensintegro (Italian), טנסגריטי (Hebrew). But multi-language support is not enabled on this wiki. For now, let's store articles in other languages along with the English ones.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;A chronology and timeline of the life of Richard Buckminster Fuller (1895-1983) is detailed on this page.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Overview= &lt;br /&gt;
Buckminster Fuller (1895-1983) coined the word 'tensegrity' and was a key figure in its development and promotion. The article relates detailed timelines of events in Fuller's biography. It is intended for tensegrity researchers who are investigating the history of tensegrity, particularly who inspired, designed, constructed and promoted it during its early years.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For a biographical narrative (rather than a timeline presentation), see the main article on [[Fuller, Richard Buckminster]] or his Great-Aunt, [[Fuller, Margaret]].&lt;br /&gt;

=Timeline of Fuller's Life= &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
//This section contains a chronology of Fuller's life, including tensegrity events.//&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''1895-1898''' Born in Milton, Massachusetts, 12 July 1895. Son of Caroline Wolcott and Richard Fuller, owner of an import company in Boston and descendent of a respected family, rich in traditions and active in politics, that had been resident in New England since 1632. Second of four children: older sister, Leslie; younger brother, Wolcott; and youngest sister, Rosamund. RBF suffers from extreme farsightedness from birth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''1899-1903''' Attended Froebel [Fröbel] Kindergarten.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''1904''' Begins attending school at the Milton Academy, will graduate 1913. Grandmother Matilda Walcott Andrews purchases Bear Island, Compass and Little Sprucehead Islands, Penobscot Bay, Maine, as summer residence. Bear Island, several miles off the mainland, becomes an important site of relation-ships and experiences for the family. The young RBF builds many model boats and begins to develop his strong affection for sea travel. RBF is aware of a family relationship with Margaret Fuller (1810-50) since he sees her books on the bookshelves, but due to lingering improprieties and a mixed feeling about how Ms. Fuller behaved, her memory is not honored and he is not made aware of her significance as writer and founder of the American women's rights movement.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''1910-1912''' Death of RBF's father, Richard Fuller. RBF decides to keep all of the letters written to him and the drafts of letter by him. Over the course of his youth, this develops into the Chronofile: a chronological collection that is intended to document the entire life of RBF in model fashion. [Note: YPS notes the date as 1908; Lorance cites 1910.]&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
'''1948''' summer. [[Fuller, Richard Buckminster|Fuller]], teaching at Black Mountain College in North Carolina, USA. [[Fuller, Richard Buckminster|Fuller]] and [[Snelson, Kenneth|Snelson]] meet. [[Snelson, Kenneth|Snelson ]]told Coplans: &amp;quot;Bucky was... talking of [[tension]] and compression... I started to think of something like a swinging pendulum sculpture. The sculpture consisted of a succession of forms: the lower one supporting the upper one and suspended by a girth of thread. It is slung and the sculpture moves like a spinal column; the form is very flexible. I did two or three sculptures like this and then it occurred to me that to remove the mobility would be a curious thing. I would then have these units separated from one another and retained rigidly in space if I tied the strings in a different manner. The only difference is that both compression members are completely free of one another. It has no top, bottom or sides, and could be placed into orbit.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
//Below are the detailed events of the years 1926-1929, when Fuller transitioned from a housing executive to an inventor focused on tension, compression and the nature of structure.// &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''1926, Jan - Aug'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fuller active in Stockade, the company he formed with his father-in-law, James Monroe Hewlett. Fuller was President of their company, the Stockade Building System. By 1926 had created four or five small factories and 240 small residences in the eastern United States. Stockade is seen as a modern technology and is featured in the The American Architect 50th anniversary issue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fuller is stationed in Chicago, a city known for its high energy mix of&lt;br /&gt;
* a new individualistic American music, Jazz, played by Jelly Roll Morton, Louis Armstrong, and other African Americans, part of a huge northward migration from the troubled South.&lt;br /&gt;
* new personal freedoms exemplified by the &amp;quot;Flapper,&amp;quot; a young woman who drinks, smokes, dances to Jazz, wears short hemlines and short hair, and in general is exploring new gender roles.&lt;br /&gt;
* a sense of lawlessness as people drink in spite of Prohibition and Al Capone in this period strengthens his hold on Chicago.&lt;br /&gt;
* a sense of empowerment-via-publicity, as a series of sensational Chicago women murderers are released by juries, although guilty; these events are portrayed in the long-running Broadway musical, &amp;quot;Chicago.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
* record breaking achievements, such as a baseball hero, Babe Ruth, thrilling the nation with an unprecedented home run streak that would remain unbroken for decades, flagpole sitters, and brave airplane pilots setting records (or dying while trying), daily.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''1926, Sept'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hewlett, who founded Stockade with Fuller, informs RBF that he needs $5,000 (over $60K in today's dollars) and will sell. This triggers part of the Stockade crisis. Hewlett will sell another tranche a year later, in September 1927.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''1926, Oct'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7-Oct-26 First board meeting of Stockade Midwest; RBF is reprimanded. The exact nature of the reprimand is not recorded. A reorganization is decided upon. The Stockade Building Systems will become a holding company exercising national promotion and patent protection features along most conservative lines... with headquarters in Chicago.&lt;br /&gt;
19-Oct-26 Fales to RBF Oct 19, 1926, 12 days after board meeting: unhappy with Fuller's communication. &amp;quot;I think you ought to let your Board know what you are doing.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
19-Oct-26 RBF writes to Hoffman concerned about reprimand that he received.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
'''1927, Jan''' &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1-Jan-27 Hewlett to RBF, citing problems that Fuller brought upon himself in Stockade. &amp;quot;I think you realize how slow I should be to attribute to you any but honorable intentions but I don't think you realize how impossible it is to get along with one's friends and business associates on any basis but one of perfect truth and frankness and you have in your anxiety to help forward perfectly proper accomplishment been too ready to adopt what must seem to anyone on the outside as sticky method.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
24-Jan-27 First annual meeting stockholders in Stockade Midwest Corporation held. RBF has over 187 shares and is elected to the board of directors.&lt;br /&gt;
25-Jan-27 RBF signed lease to rent monthly office, but did not honor the contract; probably not earning enough.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

17-Feb-27 Andy King (Cousin) to RBF telegram: Wish you success, keep your temper, you head and your confidence.&lt;br /&gt;
21-Feb-27 RBF has a bounced check, may reflect financial difficulties building.&lt;br /&gt;
28-Feb-27 Telegram AHF to RBF, &amp;quot;terribly worried your not telephoning Saturday&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
28-Feb-27 Hoffman to RBF: &amp;quot;in the meantime you have been able to straighten out the matter so as to give you, at least, some additional time.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''1927, Mar'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
8-Mar-27 RBF to DeCoursey, mentions he is no longer President of Stockade Building System, but only President of the Chicago Corp.&lt;br /&gt;
8-Mar-27 RBF to Fales, the critical board member: &amp;quot;As you may or may not know Mr. Hopkins has succeeded me as President of the Stockade Building System, and I am confining my efforts to the Chicago Corporation.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
14-Mar-27 Frances Freeman fired from Stockade NY office, writes to RBF regarding Farley(?), &amp;quot;when he tried to insinuate about your making misstatements or overstatements, I was always ready to defend you.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
14-Mar-27 Sam to RBF: No longer connected with Stockade. Don't know whether I quit or was fired.&lt;br /&gt;
29-Mar-27 RBF to Sam: Glad to hear you are with the Stockade Building System again. (Did RBF intercede on his behalf?)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''1927, Apr'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7-Apr-27 Sam to RBF: attempt made by Kingsbury to force the Stockade Building System into the hands of a receiver.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''1927, May'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1-May-27 RBF and AHF begin long separation and will not be together again until August. Their letters frequently cite the high cost of frequent long distance telephone calls, and they often trade telegrams.&lt;br /&gt;
14-May-27 Letter AHF to RBF &amp;quot;Oh darling why can't things go decently for us. Probably they will soon. It's just that everything's seemed to pile down on us this year starting with Farley's skunky trick but that wasn't very long ago and we were awfully happy last fall so perhaps we'll be awfully happy again very soon and it won't have been so bad.... I've been feeling alrightish lately but I'm getting to look awfully big which is very sad.&amp;quot; (last part added in pencil; Anne is six months pregnant.)&lt;br /&gt;
14-May-27 Clipping, Fire Protection of Bus Garages, Electric Railway Journal. . Pencil notation- &amp;quot;Suggest you pass this to…&amp;quot; (Busses will be an important example to Fuller of prefabricated shelter.)&lt;br /&gt;
20-May-27 Charles Augustus Lindbergh makes his prize-winning solo nonstop flight from New York's Long Island to Paris, France, a distance of nearly 3,600 statute miles (5,800 km), in the single-seat, single-engine purpose-built Ryan monoplane Spirit of St. Louis. As a result of this flight, Lindbergh was the first person in history to be in New York one day and Paris the next. (The flight was a great inspiration to RBF and he cites it in his first presentations that were to place in St. Louis in 1928.)&lt;br /&gt;
28-May-27 RBF to Albert MacCarthy: I am no longer connected with the Stockade Building System, Inc. in New York other than as a stockholder and director, but am not very close to its affairs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''1927, June'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Patents are issued to Hewlett &amp;amp; RBF for Stockade related items; A foreclosure suit is discussed against Stockade.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Henry Ford from June to December 1927 galvanizes the American imagination with his launch of the Model A. It was hailed as a triumphant revival, even rebirth, of his Ford Motor Company. In the same period Ford settled the embarassing libel suit against him. He printed apologies for his anti-semitism and ceased publishing such material in his newspapers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Kenneth Snelson is born to Jack Snelson and Mildred Unger Pendleton, Orgeon, 21-Jun-27. Fuller will meet Snelson twenty-one years later, in 1948, and together they will discover tensegrity.)&lt;br /&gt;

'''1927, July'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
More Stockade patents awarded to RBF.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
13-Jul-27 AHF to RBF: &amp;quot;We can live on these small inheritances and trust payments if necessary.&amp;quot; Anne indicated that they might live on her small inheritance and trust money, but instead she gives it to her brothers to manage instead, an act that stung RBF, who considered it to be a selfish betrayal.&lt;br /&gt;
13-Jul-27 AHF to RBF: &amp;quot;What does old skunk Farley say about your expense acct.? I was wild when I heard the 1,000 was from your stock &amp;amp; not the account money at all. You are going to get that paid aren't you darling?... I guess with Geo. Cross around you can fix things so that Farley can't do any nasty tricks while you're away.&amp;quot; ($1,000 in 1927 is $13,000 in today's money; Fuller was in a real financial crisis by this point.)&lt;br /&gt;
21-Jul-27 AHF to RBF: (Planning her arrival in Chicago). &amp;quot;I think your idea about living at the Virginia is the best; during the hot weather and all we wouldn’t want to struggle over getting settled and cooking etc.&amp;quot; Anne knows Fuller's problems with Hopkins as well as Stockade Midwest's reluctance to reimburse his expenses. But Fuller will greet her in one of the finest hotels in Chicago.&lt;br /&gt;
23-Jul-27 Acoustic test results of Stockade walls are delivered.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''1927, Aug'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4D company is mentioned as a fully formed idea in RBF's scrapbook.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7-Aug-27 Balance sheet, shows good financial trend when he took Anne to Chicago, had half a million 2007 dollars, and Fuller expected that his hard work had built the foundation for a secure future. However, all this paper value evaporates over the next month.&lt;br /&gt;
7-Aug-27 AHF begins her diary, starting August 7th ending 14 Dec 1928, that reveals much rich information about the period. Though the diary begins on her arrival, neither she nor RBF make any further entries until November, where &amp;quot;Fuller Houses&amp;quot; is cited as an already formed idea under discussion.&lt;br /&gt;
15-Aug-27 The first of eight Virginia Hotel receipts is paid and stored in the scrapbook.&lt;br /&gt;
28-Aug-27 A second daughter is born to the couple and named &amp;quot;Allegra.&amp;quot; This birth is experienced by RBF and Anne as a rebirth.&lt;br /&gt;
* Her name is alliteratively similar to &amp;quot;Alexandra&amp;quot;, both names begin with short &amp;quot;ALLE&amp;quot;, end in short &amp;quot;RA,&amp;quot; and feature a hard consonant between.&lt;br /&gt;
* RBF highly identifies with the baby's birth, to the extent that he prints his own fingerprints next to the baby's footprints. In celebrating the baby's arrival, RBF makes his first mention of the company he has been considering, named &amp;quot;4D.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
* The 4D name is a play on two of Fuller's main inspirations: fourth dimensional geometries of Einstein and Bragdon, and the industrial production of Henry Ford. The name 4D is based on FORD. RBF writes, &amp;quot;WHEREAS the 4D Company is soon to outgiant the collosus of Detroit, having economically cut corners around it, even to a 50% reduction in the quantity of letters necessary to the indication of its name, and material stabilization of that quantity, by removal of its doubtful 'or' ....&amp;quot; Fuller's citation of Ford is done during Ford's dramatic rebirth and recovery of the automobile market through his release of the model A.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''1927, Sept'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even as the proud new parents celebrate the birth (or re-birth) of their daughter, RBF realizes he will not get any more money or value out of Stockade.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
9-Sep-27 The first of two nurses are employed by the Fullers.&lt;br /&gt;
14-Sep-27 AHF to her father (rare typed letter): &amp;quot;I really am very much impressed with Chicago this time. Its so beautifully kept up in this section and everyone seems to be working so hard to make it more beautiful and efficient and finer in every way.... Bucky is awfully busy with his business and his family but he seems as happy as a King and simply adores the baby. We really can't believe we've actually got a little girl. I was so sure it would be a boy and we were awfully depressed about it.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
27-Sep-27 Hewlett informs RBF he intends to sell some more Stockade stock (one year after his sale in Sept. 1926), or use it as collateral for a loan. He lobbies RBF to find a good buyer: &amp;quot;I should like it to get into the hands of someone who would back you up, so that it the reason why I am suggesting that you find someone out in Chicago that would take up a proposition of this kind.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''1927, Oct'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The October diary does not have day-to-day information like it will from November forward. Fuller is beaten and robbed, and would have recuperated this month. A part time nurse is working with the Fullers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1-Oct-27 Chamberlain to RBF: indicates that RBF worked with multiple people on the house model; he also alludes to an earlier patent controversy; this may have been part of RBF's trouble with the Stockade board.&lt;br /&gt;
8-Oct-27 RBF notes in his diary, &amp;quot;Burdsal out of Stockade.&amp;quot; Burdsal's position in Stockade not clear.&lt;br /&gt;
13-Oct-27 RBF held up and beaten&lt;br /&gt;
21-Oct-27 RBF Paints AHF Holding Allegra&lt;br /&gt;
29-Oct-27 RBF notes in his diary, &amp;quot;R.B.F. Business Troubles&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
30-Oct-27 AHF Paints Allegra Sleeping&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''1927, Nov'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The nurses complete their work by 9 November. RBF saves a pamphlet from church in his scrapbook, &amp;quot;What is it to believe in Christ?&amp;quot; He is attending church most Sundays and his diary often notes that following services he enjoys a long walk back to his hotel room. The pamphlet and RBF's regular church attendance during this period may be indications of Fuller attempting to deal with the crisis he is undergoing. Church pamphlets are rare in Fuller's archives; there is only one other known, dating from 1922.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1-Nov-27 Chamberlain to RBF, Chamberlain patents would pose a conflict as he is a Stockade employee.&lt;br /&gt;
1-Nov-27 Stockade thanks RBF in a letter, made $1K net and sales were starting to exceed production.&lt;br /&gt;
3-Nov-27 RBF notes in his diary, &amp;quot;RBF out of Stockade&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
14-Nov-27 RBF notes in his diary, Allegra is making her first sounds with her mouth. (RBF is highly identifying with his newborn daughter, and will speak later of mumbling and making sounds himself. This notation is made on the fifth death anniversary of Alexandra)&lt;br /&gt;
21-Nov-27 AHF notes in her diary, &amp;quot;Bucky saw Mr. Stedman - first vice president of the Celotex Company. They had a good talk &amp;amp; we are quite hopeful. He will let Bucky know definitely tomorrow.&amp;quot; (RBF does not end up getting the job.)&lt;br /&gt;
22-Nov-27 AHF: &amp;quot;RBF Got Job - Waukegan.&amp;quot; Franklyn Muller Asbestone floors offers RBF to represent the Waukegan, WI company in Chicago.&lt;br /&gt;
22-Nov-27 Fuller Houses appears in the diary as a completely formulated idea; Fuller must have been working on it while at Stockade. Diary entry: &amp;quot;Bucky… saw Intratiane (old Stockade salesman) and talked about 'Fuller Houses.'&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
23-Nov-27 RBF takes Muller job, as Cellotex job did not materialize. AHF in diary: &amp;quot;Celotex called - Neil Ryan had no job, very friendly tho &amp;amp; offered his own or company's help. Said when plan finished see him re financing. Letter came from Mr. Smythe at Waukegan giving Bucky that job a only $50 per week with commissions. Quite a relief to us. Bucky went to Joliet, ran into Farley at Tomlinson's - as usual most disagreeable. Tomlinson spent afternoon with Bucky conferring on 'Fuller Houses.' Simply thrilled with whole scheme. Bucky spoke to Marti who is getting sick of Farely's cussing out Bucky. Farley told him not to let RBF in plant. He was wild at the thought of Celotex taking RBF on. Marti very interested to know about RBF's 'Fuller House' plan. Talk with Geo Cross on tel. in evening after Bucky got home at 10:30.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
RBF selling Muller floors.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1-Dec-27 RBF is seeking a new hotel that is cheaper than the Virginia. He begins to keep a detailed budget. A typical day includes newspaper, food and a movie.&lt;br /&gt;
4-Dec-27 CHURCH AHF: &amp;quot;Bucky went to church. Very inspiring sermon at St. Chrysostom's. Then looked at apartments as we must move.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
4-Dec-27 RBF pays for a speaking course and begins practicing speaking at home. His diary will now often speak of his practicing oration.&lt;br /&gt;
5-Dec-27 RBF: &amp;quot;Moved from Virginia to Hotel Lake View. Anne pretty much upset.&amp;quot; Anne finds Lake View &amp;quot;small &amp;amp; frightful.&amp;quot; This negative experience, from the luxurious Virginia to a single room, was a trauma that was re-told later by Bucky as &amp;quot;moving to a tenement.&amp;quot; Note that the building was a new apartment hotel in a good neighborhood.&lt;br /&gt;
6-Dec-27 Diary, &amp;quot;AHF got very sad again. &amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

25-Dec-27 RBF describes their Lake View Hotel apartment hotel as &amp;quot;a small, clean, safe place… a one-room flat in a new fire-proof apartment building at Clark and Belmont, at $22 a month.&amp;quot; In 2007 dollars that would be about $270.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''1928, Jan'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fuller is still selling Muller floors, but his diary reflects a building stream of highly excited, intense and strenuous intellectual activity. Fuller often cites God, talks about changing how he eats and acts, and in general shows signs of a transformation that is taking a deepening hold on him. Fuller will say later that, in 1927, he was considering suicide, but heard voices and other unusual activity that convinced him to focus on his ideas and their implementation, no matter what the cost.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

29-Jan-28 RBF notes in diary, &amp;quot;Slept too late to got to church. Read Sunday paper in bed. Up and took long run around Belmont Harbor Park.&amp;quot; He is now running daily.&lt;br /&gt;
30-Jan-28 RBF notes in diary, &amp;quot;read Le Corbusier until very late at night. Startled at coincidence of results arrived at in comparison to Fuller Houses but misses main philosophy of home as against house.&amp;quot; This is Corbusier’s 1923 Vers Une Architecture. According to diary 30-Jan borrowed book, 1-Feb returned it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''1928, Feb'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While still selling Muller floors, Fuller discovers this the diary of an ancestor, Margaret Fuller, that articulates the personal identity crisis that he has undergone&amp;quot; &amp;quot;I saw how long it must be before the soul can learn to act under these limitations of time and space, and human nature; but I saw, also, that it MUST do it,--that it must make all this false true,--and sow new and immortal plants in the garden of God, before it could return again. I saw there was no self; that selfishness was all folly, and the result of circumstance; that it was only because I thought self real that I suffered; that I had only to live in the idea of the ALL, and all was mine.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The significance of this event echoes throughout near all of Fuller's subsequent work. Over fifty years later he wrote to a scholar of Margaret Fuller, &amp;quot;I was an inherent business failure. In 1927, at the age of 32, I decided to do away with myself or to start doing my own thinking, and doing it only on behalf of everybody on our Planet and never for self, or for 'my side.; It was then that I unleashed an enormous stream of thought and started writing feverishly. I came to ponder the phenomenon 'time' as a scientific entity. I found that Goethe had written regarding time per se. Searching the books by and about Goethe in the Chicago library, I came upon a book titled 'Margaret Fuller and Goethe'. It was written by a man called Braun who was the head of the German Philosophy Department at Harvard. It was there and then that I began to discover the real Margaret. I had inherited some of her books and the 'Memoirs.' I had never before thought to read them. I acquired and am still acquiring everything that I can find that is published about her. I was amazed to find that my thinking and writing frequently coincided with her ways of thinking and writing.&amp;quot; (RBF to Marie Urbanski, May 18, 1980)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For details on Margaret Fuller, see quotes from Marshall's biography of her, [[Margaret Fuller Book by Marshall|here]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1-Feb-28 RBF writes in diary, &amp;quot;After much philosophical thought while walking about worked out theory of spheres.&amp;quot; Walking and thinking is now a daily activity. He records a daily schedule in his diary,&lt;br /&gt;
* 7.00 Up. Running in Park&lt;br /&gt;
* 7.45 Shave &amp;amp; Bath&lt;br /&gt;
* 8.15 Breakfast &amp;amp; read paper&lt;br /&gt;

* 10.00 Bed&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
9-Feb-28 AHF notes in diary, RBF is at the library looking up Fuller stuff. This is probably when he discovers &amp;quot;Margaret Fuller and Goethe&amp;quot; by Braun. He draws a sketch about Lightful Houses showing baby Allegra, Church (God), love and sun. He writes on it, &amp;quot;Spirit house. The new tool! Metal! Fibre stress. Stem based compression, etc. Utilizing dynamics and tensile strength. Gravity. Self truing or plumbing. Wire rope.&amp;quot; Tensegrity researchers will note this focus, from the start, on disassociating tension and compression in new, modern ways.&lt;br /&gt;
17-Feb-28 AHF notes in diary some gangster activity, the &amp;quot;assault on Capt. Hart &amp;amp; capture of man who did it.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
19-Feb-28 Budget notes, Fuller House Exp $3.00. This is the first of many similar notations.&lt;br /&gt;
20-Feb-28 RBF: &amp;quot;Stoddard and I walked up to the Drake to discuss Fuller Houses. He much taken with the whole idea and its philosophy. Glad to hear me say that god was the basis of the plan.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
21-Feb-28 RBF: &amp;quot;Read Corbusier. Read diary of Timothy Fuller.&amp;quot; (Not clear if this is his great-great-grandfather or his great-grandfather.)&lt;br /&gt;
23-Feb-28 Fuller works day and night on his ideas. He writes, &amp;quot;Ate no lunch, plan to give it up for lent &amp;amp; if it works well, permanently. RBF worked on Fuller Houses corporation book and chart all evening working out fields of utility and procedure of various departments. Worked out architectural dept. Had long discussion with Anne on the philosophy of the business end, the business side. The deals of the business world or rather lack of it. Bought cold cream, Sat. Eve. Post, House Beautiful. To bed 3 a.m. RBF received letter &amp;amp; stock certificate for 100 shares S.B.S from Sam Hoffman.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
25-Feb-28 Diary: &amp;quot;Started keeping front page of Chicago Tribune for diary of outstanding events, weather, etc. for comparisons with diary. Most important event by the way was news of electromagnetic motor being tested in Detroit by Lindberg &amp;amp; others.... RBF discussed Fuller Houses with Mr. Macleod who was much impressed with this logic. He is a possibility for sales, etc. in Fuller House organization. &amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
28-Feb-28 RBF notes in his diary, he needs lawyers to help on Stockade matters. The legal matters are not spelled out, though stock settlements are discussed and the issue fades from the diary by end 1928.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''1928, Mar'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Selling Muller floors for the last month: this task is not mentioned again, but no particular stopping date is noted either.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4-Mar-28 RBF draws Allegra's profile alongside his own, the second of three renderings at birth, this date at six months old, and finally at ten months old. By drawing Allegra and his own limbs, Fuller demonstrates continuing self-identification with his developing infant--she is unfolding into the world and he is as well. This association with his daughter's rebirth--along with the rebirth of his hero Henry Ford--as well as his ongoing oration lessons, helps explain his later reports of experiencing the world completely anew, to the extent that he even had to re-learn how to talk.&lt;br /&gt;
19-Mar-28 RBF: &amp;quot;Saw Dave Taber &amp;amp;. discussed Stockade further. Hopkins demanded settle by Thursday.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
19-Mar-28 Hewlett to RBF: &amp;quot;You have not merely done something absolutely improper but you have put him in the position of having his loyalty to you endager his position with Hopkins.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
21-Mar-28 RBF: &amp;quot;RBF out to sell stock &amp;amp; p[...]] to make settlement but Taber informed him that Hopkins would accept his stock.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
24-Mar-28 RBF: &amp;quot;Wrote &amp;amp; sketched in the park.... RBF down to see Hinkley in R. Walcott's office and finished drawings for patent attorney.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
25-Mar-28 RBF: &amp;quot;RBF to church and to Art Institute. Walked home. Took out baby in afternoon &amp;amp; Anne to Art Institute. Spent evening both sketching and RBF reading out loud philosophy of Henry Ford, etc.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
27-Mar-28 RBF: &amp;quot;...afraid of market crash. Discussed Fuller Houses with Mr. Douglas and he said he would like to put money in it.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''1928, Apr'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
RBF has read Margaret Fuller's diary by this time. No direct indication of this is recorded in the diaries or scrapbook, but in May he will discuss it repeatedly and excitedly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1-Apr-28 Draft of Speech Talk for May 1928 AIA Convention. Fuller relies upon a combination of prayer, criticism, and recent events. He renders drawings of round tubular metal casings, bags of gas filled under high pressure, piano steel wire forming floors over pneumatic struts, wire floors to be covered with pneumatic bladders and fabricoid carpet. A tripod pneumatic building unit mast, a triangular arrangement of spheroidal pneumatic pressure and metallic tension with wire tension supports. The basic ingredients of tensegrity are present, but will require two decades before they emerge in 'floating compression' form.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''1928, May'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3-May-28 RBF to his mother: &amp;quot;I have been reading much of and by Margaret Fuller lately. I am astounded to find that same things I have been writing myself are about identical to things I find in her writings. I am terribly interested and am astounded further that I should have grown to this age and never have read anything of her or grandfather Fuller's. His writing is excellent. It seems funny to find Ossoli clubs out here with people studying her and idolizing her and my not knowing of her except by name and as a relation to be proud of, but without knowledge as to why. I think Rosy would enjoy very much reading her books, and about her. All the libraries have her books. You will probably think me a dummy always as the books were always in the Milton house, but I seem just to have grown up to the point where I wanted naturally to read them, in fact am reading a great deal of everything. I have written a long essay on what is wrong in the building business and what should be done about it, etc.... &amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
17-May-28 American Institute of Architects (AIA) St. Louis, Missouri meeting; RBF discusses and distributes 4D Time Lock with anyone who will listen. He is denied a formal setting.&lt;br /&gt;
21-May-28 Following the AIA meeting RBF writes a manuscript, &amp;quot;4D Time Lock,&amp;quot; and quotes Margaret Fuller from her Woman in the Nineteenth Century at length regarding intuition. &amp;quot;As a closing admonition to this chapter on the proposed industrial projection of the combined arts in architecture for the birth of a new world culture; there is most applicable the philosophy of Margaret Fuller, Marchessa d'Oosoli, critic and inspirational mentor of American literature, quoting from her Woman in the Nineteenth Century, 'What I mean by the Muse is that unimpeded clearness of the intuitive powers, which a perfectly truthful adherence to every admonition of the higher instincts would bring to a finely organized human being--Should these faculties have free play, I believe they will open new, deeper and purer sources of joyous inspiration than have yet refreshed the earth. Let us be wise and not impede the soul.'&amp;quot; -- Chapter 10, The Revolution in Design. The Industrial ARTS vs Selfish Creation. The New Scale and the Time dimension.&lt;br /&gt;
28-May-28 RBF mails his 4D memeographed book to friends, acquaintances and influential people.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''1928, June'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4-Jun-28 Hewlitt writes about the AIA meeting, &amp;quot;I read your pamphlet very carefully.&amp;quot; His lack of citation of any presentation at St. Louis is significant evidence that Fuller did not present there in any public forum.&lt;br /&gt;
12-Jun-28 RBF writes to his sister Rosy, &amp;quot;I have been absolutely astounded at the significance of Margaret Fuller which none of us (present generation of our family) have realized, and upon which I have more or less stumbled at this distant point from home… The Library here has many books about her being published from time to time by Philosophy professors....&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

NW, there is a view of Yacht Harbor, NE a view of Yacht Harbor, Lake Michigan and Lincoln Park; SE from the private bath a view of Belmont Ave. This is a fine apartment and far from a tenement.&lt;br /&gt;
9-Jul-28 Hewlett to RBF July 9 1928: returning some of the materials as he has not enough time to read them; your idea needs more work&lt;br /&gt;
16-Jul-28 RBF to his mother, &amp;quot;Houses will be in production in under 3 years.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

By the close of 1928, Fuller was firmly set on his new path, marketing a new house concept, producing models and prototypes and speaking about the philosophy behind the execution. This pattern of &amp;quot;philosophy mechanically applied&amp;quot; would sustain him throughout his long career. He had, in Loretta Lorance's words, truly &amp;quot;become Bucky Fuller.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;A chronology and timeline of the life of Richard Buckminster Fuller (1895-1983) is detailed on this page.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Overview= &lt;br /&gt;
Buckminster Fuller (1895-1983) coined the word 'tensegrity' and was a key figure in its development and promotion. The article relates detailed timelines of events in Fuller's biography. It is intended for tensegrity researchers who are investigating the history of tensegrity, particularly who inspired, designed, constructed and promoted it during its early years.&lt;br /&gt;

=Timeline of Fuller's Life= &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
//This section contains a chronology of Fuller's life, including tensegrity events.//&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''1895-1898''' Born in Milton, Massachusetts, 12 July 1895. Son of Caroline Wolcott and Richard Fuller, owner of an import company in Boston and descendent of a respected family, rich in traditions and active in politics, that had been resident in New England since 1632. Second of four children: older sister, Leslie; younger brother, Wolcott; and youngest sister, Rosamund. RBF suffers from extreme farsightedness from birth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''1899-1903''' Attended Froebel [Fröbel] Kindergarten.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''1904''' Begins attending school at the Milton Academy, will graduate 1913. Grandmother Matilda Walcott Andrews purchases Bear Island, Compass and Little Sprucehead Islands, Penobscot Bay, Maine, as summer residence. Bear Island, several miles off the mainland, becomes an important site of relation-ships and experiences for the family. The young RBF builds many model boats and begins to develop his strong affection for sea travel. RBF is aware of a family relationship with Margaret Fuller (1810-50) since he sees her books on the bookshelves, but due to lingering improprieties and a mixed feeling about how Ms. Fuller behaved, her memory is not honored and he is not made aware of her significance as writer and founder of the American women's rights movement.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''1910-1912''' Death of RBF's father, Richard Fuller. RBF decides to keep all of the letters written to him and the drafts of letter by him. Over the course of his youth, this develops into the Chronofile: a chronological collection that is intended to document the entire life of RBF in model fashion. [Note: YPS notes the date as 1908; Lorance cites 1910.]&lt;br /&gt;

'''1948''' summer. [[Fuller, Richard Buckminster|Fuller]], teaching at Black Mountain College in North Carolina, USA. [[Fuller, Richard Buckminster|Fuller]] and [[Snelson, Kenneth|Snelson]] meet. [[Snelson, Kenneth|Snelson ]]told Coplans: &amp;quot;Bucky was... talking of [[tension]] and compression... I started to think of something like a swinging pendulum sculpture. The sculpture consisted of a succession of forms: the lower one supporting the upper one and suspended by a girth of thread. It is slung and the sculpture moves like a spinal column; the form is very flexible. I did two or three sculptures like this and then it occurred to me that to remove the mobility would be a curious thing. I would then have these units separated from one another and retained rigidly in space if I tied the strings in a different manner. The only difference is that both compression members are completely free of one another. It has no top, bottom or sides, and could be placed into orbit.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

=Timeline of Fuller's Life 1926-1929, Detailed= &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
//Below are the detailed events of the years 1926-1929, when Fuller transitioned from a housing executive to an inventor focused on tension, compression and the nature of structure.// &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''1926, Jan - Aug'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fuller active in Stockade, the company he formed with his father-in-law, James Monroe Hewlett. Fuller was President of their company, the Stockade Building System. By 1926 had created four or five small factories and 240 small residences in the eastern United States. Stockade is seen as a modern technology and is featured in the The American Architect 50th anniversary issue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fuller is stationed in Chicago, a city known for its high energy mix of&lt;br /&gt;
* a new individualistic American music, Jazz, played by Jelly Roll Morton, Louis Armstrong, and other African Americans, part of a huge northward migration from the troubled South.&lt;br /&gt;
* new personal freedoms exemplified by the &amp;quot;Flapper,&amp;quot; a young woman who drinks, smokes, dances to Jazz, wears short hemlines and short hair, and in general is exploring new gender roles.&lt;br /&gt;
* a sense of lawlessness as people drink in spite of Prohibition and Al Capone in this period strengthens his hold on Chicago.&lt;br /&gt;
* a sense of empowerment-via-publicity, as a series of sensational Chicago women murderers are released by juries, although guilty; these events are portrayed in the long-running Broadway musical, &amp;quot;Chicago.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
* record breaking achievements, such as a baseball hero, Babe Ruth, thrilling the nation with an unprecedented home run streak that would remain unbroken for decades, flagpole sitters, and brave airplane pilots setting records (or dying while trying), daily.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''1926, Sept'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hewlett, who founded Stockade with Fuller, informs RBF that he needs $5,000 (over $60K in today's dollars) and will sell. This triggers part of the Stockade crisis. Hewlett will sell another tranche a year later, in September 1927.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''1926, Oct'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7-Oct-26 First board meeting of Stockade Midwest; RBF is reprimanded. The exact nature of the reprimand is not recorded. A reorganization is decided upon. The Stockade Building Systems will become a holding company exercising national promotion and patent protection features along most conservative lines... with headquarters in Chicago.&lt;br /&gt;
19-Oct-26 Fales to RBF Oct 19, 1926, 12 days after board meeting: unhappy with Fuller's communication. &amp;quot;I think you ought to let your Board know what you are doing.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
19-Oct-26 RBF writes to Hoffman concerned about reprimand that he received.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''1926, Nov'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
14-Nov-26 Fourth death anniversary of Alexandra Willets Fuller.&lt;br /&gt;

16-Nov-26 RBF receives Stockade reorganization notice.&lt;br /&gt;
17-Nov-26 Minutes of special meeting of the board of directors of the Stockade Building System Inc reorg. are published.&lt;br /&gt;

Much ongoing correspondence about Stockade difficulties is reflected in RBF's scrapbook.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''1927, Jan''' &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1-Jan-27 Hewlett to RBF, citing problems that Fuller brought upon himself in Stockade. &amp;quot;I think you realize how slow I should be to attribute to you any but honorable intentions but I don't think you realize how impossible it is to get along with one's friends and business associates on any basis but one of perfect truth and frankness and you have in your anxiety to help forward perfectly proper accomplishment been too ready to adopt what must seem to anyone on the outside as sticky method.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
24-Jan-27 First annual meeting stockholders in Stockade Midwest Corporation held. RBF has over 187 shares and is elected to the board of directors.&lt;br /&gt;
25-Jan-27 RBF signed lease to rent monthly office, but did not honor the contract; probably not earning enough.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''1927, Feb'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anne finds she is pregnant for the second time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
10-Feb-27 RBF to Stockade Building System: RBF resigns Stockade, remains president of Midwest.&lt;br /&gt;
16-Feb-27 RBF to McCarty: reassuring him, Stockade will continue to be OK after &amp;quot;apparent change of command&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
17-Feb-27 Andy King (Cousin) to RBF telegram: Wish you success, keep your temper, you head and your confidence.&lt;br /&gt;
21-Feb-27 RBF has a bounced check, may reflect financial difficulties building.&lt;br /&gt;
28-Feb-27 Telegram AHF to RBF, &amp;quot;terribly worried your not telephoning Saturday&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
28-Feb-27 Hoffman to RBF: &amp;quot;in the meantime you have been able to straighten out the matter so as to give you, at least, some additional time.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''1927, Mar'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
8-Mar-27 RBF to DeCoursey, mentions he is no longer President of Stockade Building System, but only President of the Chicago Corp.&lt;br /&gt;
8-Mar-27 RBF to Fales, the critical board member: &amp;quot;As you may or may not know Mr. Hopkins has succeeded me as President of the Stockade Building System, and I am confining my efforts to the Chicago Corporation.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
14-Mar-27 Frances Freeman fired from Stockade NY office, writes to RBF regarding Farley(?), &amp;quot;when he tried to insinuate about your making misstatements or overstatements, I was always ready to defend you.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
14-Mar-27 Sam to RBF: No longer connected with Stockade. Don't know whether I quit or was fired.&lt;br /&gt;
29-Mar-27 RBF to Sam: Glad to hear you are with the Stockade Building System again. (Did RBF intercede on his behalf?)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''1927, Apr'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7-Apr-27 Sam to RBF: attempt made by Kingsbury to force the Stockade Building System into the hands of a receiver.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''1927, May'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1-May-27 RBF and AHF begin long separation and will not be together again until August. Their letters frequently cite the high cost of frequent long distance telephone calls, and they often trade telegrams.&lt;br /&gt;
14-May-27 Letter AHF to RBF &amp;quot;Oh darling why can't things go decently for us. Probably they will soon. It's just that everything's seemed to pile down on us this year starting with Farley's skunky trick but that wasn't very long ago and we were awfully happy last fall so perhaps we'll be awfully happy again very soon and it won't have been so bad.... I've been feeling alrightish lately but I'm getting to look awfully big which is very sad.&amp;quot; (last part added in pencil; Anne is six months pregnant.)&lt;br /&gt;
14-May-27 Clipping, Fire Protection of Bus Garages, Electric Railway Journal. . Pencil notation- &amp;quot;Suggest you pass this to…&amp;quot; (Busses will be an important example to Fuller of prefabricated shelter.)&lt;br /&gt;
20-May-27 Charles Augustus Lindbergh makes his prize-winning solo nonstop flight from New York's Long Island to Paris, France, a distance of nearly 3,600 statute miles (5,800 km), in the single-seat, single-engine purpose-built Ryan monoplane Spirit of St. Louis. As a result of this flight, Lindbergh was the first person in history to be in New York one day and Paris the next. (The flight was a great inspiration to RBF and he cites it in his first presentations that were to place in St. Louis in 1928.)&lt;br /&gt;
28-May-27 RBF to Albert MacCarthy: I am no longer connected with the Stockade Building System, Inc. in New York other than as a stockholder and director, but am not very close to its affairs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''1927, June'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Patents are issued to Hewlett &amp;amp; RBF for Stockade related items; A foreclosure suit is discussed against Stockade.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Henry Ford from June to December 1927 galvanizes the American imagination with his launch of the Model A. It was hailed as a triumphant revival, even rebirth, of his Ford Motor Company. In the same period Ford settled the embarassing libel suit against him. He printed apologies for his anti-semitism and ceased publishing such material in his newspapers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Kenneth Snelson is born to Jack Snelson and Mildred Unger Pendleton, Orgeon, 21-Jun-27. Fuller will meet Snelson twenty-one years later, in 1948, and together they will discover tensegrity.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''1927, July'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
More Stockade patents awarded to RBF.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
13-Jul-27 AHF to RBF: &amp;quot;We can live on these small inheritances and trust payments if necessary.&amp;quot; Anne indicated that they might live on her small inheritance and trust money, but instead she gives it to her brothers to manage instead, an act that stung RBF, who considered it to be a selfish betrayal.&lt;br /&gt;
13-Jul-27 AHF to RBF: &amp;quot;What does old skunk Farley say about your expense acct.? I was wild when I heard the 1,000 was from your stock &amp;amp; not the account money at all. You are going to get that paid aren't you darling?... I guess with Geo. Cross around you can fix things so that Farley can't do any nasty tricks while you're away.&amp;quot; ($1,000 in 1927 is $13,000 in today's money; Fuller was in a real financial crisis by this point.)&lt;br /&gt;
21-Jul-27 AHF to RBF: (Planning her arrival in Chicago). &amp;quot;I think your idea about living at the Virginia is the best; during the hot weather and all we wouldn’t want to struggle over getting settled and cooking etc.&amp;quot; Anne knows Fuller's problems with Hopkins as well as Stockade Midwest's reluctance to reimburse his expenses. But Fuller will greet her in one of the finest hotels in Chicago.&lt;br /&gt;
23-Jul-27 Acoustic test results of Stockade walls are delivered.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''1927, Aug'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4D company is mentioned as a fully formed idea in RBF's scrapbook.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7-Aug-27 Balance sheet, shows good financial trend when he took Anne to Chicago, had half a million 2007 dollars, and Fuller expected that his hard work had built the foundation for a secure future. However, all this paper value evaporates over the next month.&lt;br /&gt;
7-Aug-27 AHF begins her diary, starting August 7th ending 14 Dec 1928, that reveals much rich information about the period. Though the diary begins on her arrival, neither she nor RBF make any further entries until November, where &amp;quot;Fuller Houses&amp;quot; is cited as an already formed idea under discussion.&lt;br /&gt;
15-Aug-27 The first of eight Virginia Hotel receipts is paid and stored in the scrapbook.&lt;br /&gt;
28-Aug-27 A second daughter is born to the couple and named &amp;quot;Allegra.&amp;quot; This birth is experienced by RBF and Anne as a rebirth.&lt;br /&gt;
* Her name is alliteratively similar to &amp;quot;Alexandra&amp;quot;, both names begin with short &amp;quot;ALLE&amp;quot;, end in short &amp;quot;RA,&amp;quot; and feature a hard consonant between.&lt;br /&gt;
* RBF highly identifies with the baby's birth, to the extent that he prints his own fingerprints next to the baby's footprints. In celebrating the baby's arrival, RBF makes his first mention of the company he has been considering, named &amp;quot;4D.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
* The 4D name is a play on two of Fuller's main inspirations: fourth dimensional geometries of Einstein and Bragdon, and the industrial production of Henry Ford. The name 4D is based on FORD. RBF writes, &amp;quot;WHEREAS the 4D Company is soon to outgiant the collosus of Detroit, having economically cut corners around it, even to a 50% reduction in the quantity of letters necessary to the indication of its name, and material stabilization of that quantity, by removal of its doubtful 'or' ....&amp;quot; Fuller's citation of Ford is done during Ford's dramatic rebirth and recovery of the automobile market through his release of the model A.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''1927, Sept'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even as the proud new parents celebrate the birth (or re-birth) of their daughter, RBF realizes he will not get any more money or value out of Stockade.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
9-Sep-27 The first of two nurses are employed by the Fullers.&lt;br /&gt;
14-Sep-27 AHF to her father (rare typed letter): &amp;quot;I really am very much impressed with Chicago this time. Its so beautifully kept up in this section and everyone seems to be working so hard to make it more beautiful and efficient and finer in every way.... Bucky is awfully busy with his business and his family but he seems as happy as a King and simply adores the baby. We really can't believe we've actually got a little girl. I was so sure it would be a boy and we were awfully depressed about it.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
27-Sep-27 Hewlett informs RBF he intends to sell some more Stockade stock (one year after his sale in Sept. 1926), or use it as collateral for a loan. He lobbies RBF to find a good buyer: &amp;quot;I should like it to get into the hands of someone who would back you up, so that it the reason why I am suggesting that you find someone out in Chicago that would take up a proposition of this kind.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''1927, Oct'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The October diary does not have day-to-day information like it will from November forward. Fuller is beaten and robbed, and would have recuperated this month. A part time nurse is working with the Fullers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1-Oct-27 Chamberlain to RBF: indicates that RBF worked with multiple people on the house model; he also alludes to an earlier patent controversy; this may have been part of RBF's trouble with the Stockade board.&lt;br /&gt;
8-Oct-27 RBF notes in his diary, &amp;quot;Burdsal out of Stockade.&amp;quot; Burdsal's position in Stockade not clear.&lt;br /&gt;
13-Oct-27 RBF held up and beaten&lt;br /&gt;
21-Oct-27 RBF Paints AHF Holding Allegra&lt;br /&gt;
29-Oct-27 RBF notes in his diary, &amp;quot;R.B.F. Business Troubles&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
30-Oct-27 AHF Paints Allegra Sleeping&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''1927, Nov'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The nurses complete their work by 9 November. RBF saves a pamphlet from church in his scrapbook, &amp;quot;What is it to believe in Christ?&amp;quot; He is attending church most Sundays and his diary often notes that following services he enjoys a long walk back to his hotel room. The pamphlet and RBF's regular church attendance during this period may be indications of Fuller attempting to deal with the crisis he is undergoing. Church pamphlets are rare in Fuller's archives; there is only one other known, dating from 1922.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1-Nov-27 Chamberlain to RBF, Chamberlain patents would pose a conflict as he is a Stockade employee.&lt;br /&gt;
1-Nov-27 Stockade thanks RBF in a letter, made $1K net and sales were starting to exceed production.&lt;br /&gt;
3-Nov-27 RBF notes in his diary, &amp;quot;RBF out of Stockade&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
14-Nov-27 RBF notes in his diary, Allegra is making her first sounds with her mouth. (RBF is highly identifying with his newborn daughter, and will speak later of mumbling and making sounds himself. This notation is made on the fifth death anniversary of Alexandra)&lt;br /&gt;
21-Nov-27 AHF notes in her diary, &amp;quot;Bucky saw Mr. Stedman - first vice president of the Celotex Company. They had a good talk &amp;amp; we are quite hopeful. He will let Bucky know definitely tomorrow.&amp;quot; (RBF does not end up getting the job.)&lt;br /&gt;
22-Nov-27 AHF: &amp;quot;RBF Got Job - Waukegan.&amp;quot; Franklyn Muller Asbestone floors offers RBF to represent the Waukegan, WI company in Chicago.&lt;br /&gt;
22-Nov-27 Fuller Houses appears in the diary as a completely formulated idea; Fuller must have been working on it while at Stockade. Diary entry: &amp;quot;Bucky… saw Intratiane (old Stockade salesman) and talked about 'Fuller Houses.'&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
23-Nov-27 RBF takes Muller job, as Cellotex job did not materialize. AHF in diary: &amp;quot;Celotex called - Neil Ryan had no job, very friendly tho &amp;amp; offered his own or company's help. Said when plan finished see him re financing. Letter came from Mr. Smythe at Waukegan giving Bucky that job a only $50 per week with commissions. Quite a relief to us. Bucky went to Joliet, ran into Farley at Tomlinson's - as usual most disagreeable. Tomlinson spent afternoon with Bucky conferring on 'Fuller Houses.' Simply thrilled with whole scheme. Bucky spoke to Marti who is getting sick of Farely's cussing out Bucky. Farley told him not to let RBF in plant. He was wild at the thought of Celotex taking RBF on. Marti very interested to know about RBF's 'Fuller House' plan. Talk with Geo Cross on tel. in evening after Bucky got home at 10:30.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

5-Dec-27 RBF: &amp;quot;Moved from Virginia to Hotel Lake View. Anne pretty much upset.&amp;quot; Anne finds Lake View &amp;quot;small &amp;amp; frightful.&amp;quot; This negative experience, from the luxurious Virginia to a single room, was a trauma that was re-told later by Bucky as &amp;quot;moving to a tenement.&amp;quot; Note that the building was a new apartment hotel in a good neighborhood.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
'''1928, Jan'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fuller is still selling Muller floors, but his diary reflects a building stream of highly excited, intense and strenuous intellectual activity. Fuller often cites God, talks about changing how he eats and acts, and in general shows signs of a transformation that is taking a deepening hold on him. Fuller will say later that, in 1927, he was considering suicide, but heard voices and other unusual activity that convinced him to focus on his ideas and their implementation, no matter what the cost.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Startled at coincidence of results arrived at in comparison to Fuller Houses but misses main philosophy of home as against house.&amp;quot; This is Corbusier’s 1923 Vers Une Architecture. According to diary 30-Jan borrowed book, 1-Feb returned it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''1928, Feb'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While still selling Muller floors, Fuller discovers this the diary of an ancestor, Margaret Fuller, that articulates the personal identity crisis that he has undergone&amp;quot; &amp;quot;I saw how long it must be before the soul can learn to act under these limitations of time and space, and human nature; but I saw, also, that it MUST do it,--that it must make all this false true,--and sow new and immortal plants in the garden of God, before it could return again. I saw there was no self; that selfishness was all folly, and the result of circumstance; that it was only because I thought self real that I suffered; that I had only to live in the idea of the ALL, and all was mine.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The significance of this event echoes throughout near all of Fuller's subsequent work. Over fifty years later he wrote to a scholar of Margaret Fuller, &amp;quot;I was an inherent business failure. In 1927, at the age of 32, I decided to do away with myself or to start doing my own thinking, and doing it only on behalf of everybody on our Planet and never for self, or for 'my side.; It was then that I unleashed an enormous stream of thought and started writing feverishly. I came to ponder the phenomenon 'time' as a scientific entity. I found that Goethe had written regarding time per se. Searching the books by and about Goethe in the Chicago library, I came upon a book titled 'Margaret Fuller and Goethe'. It was written by a man called Braun who was the head of the German Philosophy Department at Harvard. It was there and then that I began to discover the real Margaret. I had inherited some of her books and the 'Memoirs.' I had never before thought to read them. I acquired and am still acquiring everything that I can find that is published about her. I was amazed to find that my thinking and writing frequently coincided with her ways of thinking and writing.&amp;quot; (RBF to Marie Urbanski, May 18, 1980)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For details on Margaret Fuller, see quotes from Marshall's biography of her, [[Margaret Fuller Book by Marshall|here]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1-Feb-28 RBF writes in diary, &amp;quot;After much philosophical thought while walking about worked out theory of spheres.&amp;quot; Walking and thinking is now a daily activity. He records a daily schedule in his diary,&lt;br /&gt;

* 10.00 Bed&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
9-Feb-28 AHF notes in diary, RBF is at the library looking up Fuller stuff. This is probably when he discovers &amp;quot;Margaret Fuller and Goethe&amp;quot; by Braun. He draws a sketch about Lightful Houses showing baby Allegra, Church (God), love and sun. He writes on it, &amp;quot;Spirit house. The new tool! Metal! Fibre stress. Stem based compression, etc. Utilizing dynamics and tensile strength. Gravity. Self truing or plumbing. Wire rope.&amp;quot; Tensegrity researchers will note this focus, from the start, on disassociating tension and compression in new, modern ways.&lt;br /&gt;
17-Feb-28 AHF notes in diary some gangster activity, the &amp;quot;assault on Capt. Hart &amp;amp; capture of man who did it.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
19-Feb-28 Budget notes, Fuller House Exp $3.00. This is the first of many similar notations.&lt;br /&gt;
20-Feb-28 RBF: &amp;quot;Stoddard and I walked up to the Drake to discuss Fuller Houses. He much taken with the whole idea and its philosophy. Glad to hear me say that god was the basis of the plan.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
21-Feb-28 RBF: &amp;quot;Read Corbusier. Read diary of Timothy Fuller.&amp;quot; (Not clear if this is his great-great-grandfather or his great-grandfather.)&lt;br /&gt;
23-Feb-28 Fuller works day and night on his ideas. He writes, &amp;quot;Ate no lunch, plan to give it up for lent &amp;amp; if it works well, permanently. RBF worked on Fuller Houses corporation book and chart all evening working out fields of utility and procedure of various departments. Worked out architectural dept. Had long discussion with Anne on the philosophy of the business end, the business side. The deals of the business world or rather lack of it. Bought cold cream, Sat. Eve. Post, House Beautiful. To bed 3 a.m. RBF received letter &amp;amp; stock certificate for 100 shares S.B.S from Sam Hoffman.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
25-Feb-28 Diary: &amp;quot;Started keeping front page of Chicago Tribune for diary of outstanding events, weather, etc. for comparisons with diary. Most important event by the way was news of electromagnetic motor being tested in Detroit by Lindberg &amp;amp; others.... RBF discussed Fuller Houses with Mr. Macleod who was much impressed with this logic. He is a possibility for sales, etc. in Fuller House organization. &amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
28-Feb-28 RBF notes in his diary, he needs lawyers to help on Stockade matters. The legal matters are not spelled out, though stock settlements are discussed and the issue fades from the diary by end 1928.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''1928, Mar'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Selling Muller floors for the last month: this task is not mentioned again, but no particular stopping date is noted either.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4-Mar-28 RBF draws Allegra's profile alongside his own, the second of three renderings at birth, this date at six months old, and finally at ten months old. By drawing Allegra and his own limbs, Fuller demonstrates continuing self-identification with his developing infant--she is unfolding into the world and he is as well. This association with his daughter's rebirth--along with the rebirth of his hero Henry Ford--as well as his ongoing oration lessons, helps explain his later reports of experiencing the world completely anew, to the extent that he even had to re-learn how to talk.&lt;br /&gt;
19-Mar-28 RBF: &amp;quot;Saw Dave Taber &amp;amp;. discussed Stockade further. Hopkins demanded settle by Thursday.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
19-Mar-28 Hewlett to RBF: &amp;quot;You have not merely done something absolutely improper but you have put him in the position of having his loyalty to you endager his position with Hopkins.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
21-Mar-28 RBF: &amp;quot;RBF out to sell stock &amp;amp; p[...]] to make settlement but Taber informed him that Hopkins would accept his stock.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
24-Mar-28 RBF: &amp;quot;Wrote &amp;amp; sketched in the park.... RBF down to see Hinkley in R. Walcott's office and finished drawings for patent attorney.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
25-Mar-28 RBF: &amp;quot;RBF to church and to Art Institute. Walked home. Took out baby in afternoon &amp;amp; Anne to Art Institute. Spent evening both sketching and RBF reading out loud philosophy of Henry Ford, etc.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
27-Mar-28 RBF: &amp;quot;...afraid of market crash. Discussed Fuller Houses with Mr. Douglas and he said he would like to put money in it.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''1928, Apr'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
RBF has read Margaret Fuller's diary by this time. No direct indication of this is recorded in the diaries or scrapbook, but in May he will discuss it repeatedly and excitedly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1-Apr-28 Draft of Speech Talk for May 1928 AIA Convention. Fuller relies upon a combination of prayer, criticism, and recent events. He renders drawings of round tubular metal casings, bags of gas filled under high pressure, piano steel wire forming floors over pneumatic struts, wire floors to be covered with pneumatic bladders and fabricoid carpet. A tripod pneumatic building unit mast, a triangular arrangement of spheroidal pneumatic pressure and metallic tension with wire tension supports. The basic ingredients of tensegrity are present, but will require two decades before they emerge in 'floating compression' form.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''1928, May'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3-May-28 RBF to his mother: &amp;quot;I have been reading much of and by Margaret Fuller lately. I am astounded to find that same things I have been writing myself are about identical to things I find in her writings. I am terribly interested and am astounded further that I should have grown to this age and never have read anything of her or grandfather Fuller's. His writing is excellent. It seems funny to find Ossoli clubs out here with people studying her and idolizing her and my not knowing of her except by name and as a relation to be proud of, but without knowledge as to why. I think Rosy would enjoy very much reading her books, and about her. All the libraries have her books. You will probably think me a dummy always as the books were always in the Milton house, but I seem just to have grown up to the point where I wanted naturally to read them, in fact am reading a great deal of everything. I have written a long essay on what is wrong in the building business and what should be done about it, etc.... &amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
17-May-28 American Institute of Architects (AIA) St. Louis, Missouri meeting; RBF discusses and distributes 4D Time Lock with anyone who will listen. He is denied a formal setting.&lt;br /&gt;
21-May-28 Following the AIA meeting RBF writes a manuscript, &amp;quot;4D Time Lock,&amp;quot; and quotes Margaret Fuller from her Woman in the Nineteenth Century at length regarding intuition. &amp;quot;As a closing admonition to this chapter on the proposed industrial projection of the combined arts in architecture for the birth of a new world culture; there is most applicable the philosophy of Margaret Fuller, Marchessa d'Oosoli, critic and inspirational mentor of American literature, quoting from her Woman in the Nineteenth Century, 'What I mean by the Muse is that unimpeded clearness of the intuitive powers, which a perfectly truthful adherence to every admonition of the higher instincts would bring to a finely organized human being--Should these faculties have free play, I believe they will open new, deeper and purer sources of joyous inspiration than have yet refreshed the earth. Let us be wise and not impede the soul.'&amp;quot; -- Chapter 10, The Revolution in Design. The Industrial ARTS vs Selfish Creation. The New Scale and the Time dimension.&lt;br /&gt;
28-May-28 RBF mails his 4D memeographed book to friends, acquaintances and influential people.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''1928, June'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4-Jun-28 Hewlitt writes about the AIA meeting, &amp;quot;I read your pamphlet very carefully.&amp;quot; His lack of citation of any presentation at St. Louis is significant evidence that Fuller did not present there in any public forum.&lt;br /&gt;
12-Jun-28 RBF writes to his sister Rosy, &amp;quot;I have been absolutely astounded at the significance of Margaret Fuller which none of us (present generation of our family) have realized, and upon which I have more or less stumbled at this distant point from home… The Library here has many books about her being published from time to time by Philosophy professors....&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''1928, July'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1-Jul-28 Move to 426 Belmont Harbor Apartment, 11th floor apartment 1006. Fuller takes and develops a photo of the view from his window.&lt;br /&gt;
8-Jul-28 RBF renders his apartment architectural plan:4 rooms with closets: Foyer, bedroom, living room, dinette and kitchen. It features a service and passenger elevator. NW, there is a view of Yacht Harbor, NE a view of Yacht Harbor, Lake Michigan and Lincoln Park; SE from the private bath a view of Belmont Ave. This is a fine apartment and far from a tenement.&lt;br /&gt;
9-Jul-28 Hewlett to RBF July 9 1928: returning some of the materials as he has not enough time to read them; your idea needs more work&lt;br /&gt;
16-Jul-28 RBF to his mother, &amp;quot;Houses will be in production in under 3 years.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''1928, Aug-Dec'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
RBF continues to follow up on the 4D Timelock material.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
31-Aug-28 RBF to Buffington: &amp;quot;[I]] lost control in the bosom of an ethics fog.&amp;quot; This reference indicates his own role in the earlier Stockade troubles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The diary ends 14 Dec 1928.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''1929, Jan - Feb'''&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
'''1929, Oct-Dec'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the close of 1928, Fuller was firmly set on his new path, marketing a new house concept, producing models and prototypes and speaking about the philosophy behind the execution. This pattern of &amp;quot;philosophy mechanically applied&amp;quot; would sustain him throughout his long career. He had, in Loretta Lorance's words, truly &amp;quot;become Bucky Fuller.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;A chronology and timeline of the life of Richard Buckminster Fuller (1895-1983) is detailed on this page.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Overview= &lt;br /&gt;
Buckminster Fuller (1895-1983) coined the word 'tensegrity' and was a key figure in its development and promotion. The article relates detailed timelines of events in Fuller's biography. It is intended for tensegrity researchers who are investigating the history of tensegrity, particularly who inspired, designed, constructed and promoted it during its early years.&lt;br /&gt;

=Timeline of Fuller's Life= &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
//This section contains a chronology of Fuller's life, including tensegrity events.//&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''1895-1898''' Born in Milton, Massachusetts, 12 July 1895. Son of Caroline Wolcott and Richard Fuller, owner of an import company in Boston and descendent of a respected family, rich in traditions and active in politics, that had been resident in New England since 1632. Second of four children: older sister, Leslie; younger brother, Wolcott; and youngest sister, Rosamund. RBF suffers from extreme farsightedness from birth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Grandmother Matilda Walcott Andrews purchases Bear Island, Compass and Little Sprucehead Islands, Penobscot Bay, Maine, as summer residence. Bear Island, several miles off the mainland, becomes an important site of relation-ships and experiences for the family. The young RBF builds many model boats and begins to develop his strong affection for sea travel. RBF is aware of a family relationship with Margaret Fuller (1810-50) since he sees her books on the bookshelves, but due to lingering improprieties and a mixed feeling about how Ms. Fuller behaved, her memory is not honored and he is not made aware of her significance as writer and founder of the American women's rights movement.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''1910-1912''' Death of RBF's father, Richard Fuller. RBF decides to keep all of the letters written to him and the drafts of letter by him. Over the course of his youth, this develops into the Chronofile: a chronological collection that is intended to document the entire life of RBF in model fashion.

'''1948''' summer. [[Fuller, Richard Buckminster|Fuller]], teaching at Black Mountain College in North Carolina, USA. [[Fuller, Richard Buckminster|Fuller]] and [[Snelson, Kenneth|Snelson]] meet. [[Snelson, Kenneth|Snelson ]]told Coplans: &amp;quot;Bucky was... talking of [[tension]] and compression... I started to think of something like a swinging pendulum sculpture. The sculpture consisted of a succession of forms: the lower one supporting the upper one and suspended by a girth of thread. It is slung and the sculpture moves like a spinal column; the form is very flexible. I did two or three sculptures like this and then it occurred to me that to remove the mobility would be a curious thing. I would then have these units separated from one another and retained rigidly in space if I tied the strings in a different manner. The only difference is that both compression members are completely free of one another. It has no top, bottom or sides, and could be placed into orbit.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

=Timeline of Fuller's Life 1926-1929, Detailed= &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
//Below are the detailed events of the years 1926-1929, when Fuller transitioned from a housing executive to an inventor focused on tension, compression and the nature of structure.// &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''1926, Jan - Aug'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fuller active in Stockade, the company he formed with his father-in-law, James Monroe Hewlett. Fuller was President of their company, the Stockade Building System. By 1926 had created four or five small factories and 240 small residences in the eastern United States. Stockade is seen as a modern technology and is featured in the The American Architect 50th anniversary issue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fuller is stationed in Chicago, a city known for its high energy mix of&lt;br /&gt;
* a new individualistic American music, Jazz, played by Jelly Roll Morton, Louis Armstrong, and other African Americans, part of a huge northward migration from the troubled South.&lt;br /&gt;
* new personal freedoms exemplified by the &amp;quot;Flapper,&amp;quot; a young woman who drinks, smokes, dances to Jazz, wears short hemlines and short hair, and in general is exploring new gender roles.&lt;br /&gt;
* a sense of lawlessness as people drink in spite of Prohibition and Al Capone in this period strengthens his hold on Chicago.&lt;br /&gt;
* a sense of empowerment-via-publicity, as a series of sensational Chicago women murderers are released by juries, although guilty; these events are portrayed in the long-running Broadway musical, &amp;quot;Chicago.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
* record breaking achievements, such as a baseball hero, Babe Ruth, thrilling the nation with an unprecedented home run streak that would remain unbroken for decades, flagpole sitters, and brave airplane pilots setting records (or dying while trying), daily.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''1926, Sept'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hewlett, who founded Stockade with Fuller, informs RBF that he needs $5,000 (over $60K in today's dollars) and will sell. This triggers part of the Stockade crisis. Hewlett will sell another tranche a year later, in September 1927.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''1926, Oct'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7-Oct-26 First board meeting of Stockade Midwest; RBF is reprimanded. The exact nature of the reprimand is not recorded. A reorganization is decided upon. The Stockade Building Systems will become a holding company exercising national promotion and patent protection features along most conservative lines... with headquarters in Chicago.&lt;br /&gt;
19-Oct-26 Fales to RBF Oct 19, 1926, 12 days after board meeting: unhappy with Fuller's communication. &amp;quot;I think you ought to let your Board know what you are doing.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
19-Oct-26 RBF writes to Hoffman concerned about reprimand that he received.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''1926, Nov'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
14-Nov-26 Fourth death anniversary of Alexandra Willets Fuller.&lt;br /&gt;
15-Nov-26 RBF nervously writes Sam Hoffman that he does not want to make any mistakes; he needs the board's support.&lt;br /&gt;
16-Nov-26 RBF receives Stockade reorganization notice.&lt;br /&gt;
17-Nov-26 Minutes of special meeting of the board of directors of the Stockade Building System Inc reorg. are published.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Much ongoing correspondence about Stockade difficulties is reflected in RBF's scrapbook.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''1927, Jan''' &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1-Jan-27 Hewlett to RBF, citing problems that Fuller brought upon himself in Stockade. &amp;quot;I think you realize how slow I should be to attribute to you any but honorable intentions but I don't think you realize how impossible it is to get along with one's friends and business associates on any basis but one of perfect truth and frankness and you have in your anxiety to help forward perfectly proper accomplishment been too ready to adopt what must seem to anyone on the outside as sticky method.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
24-Jan-27 First annual meeting stockholders in Stockade Midwest Corporation held. RBF has over 187 shares and is elected to the board of directors.&lt;br /&gt;
25-Jan-27 RBF signed lease to rent monthly office, but did not honor the contract; probably not earning enough.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''1927, Feb'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anne finds she is pregnant for the second time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

16-Feb-27 RBF to McCarty: reassuring him, Stockade will continue to be OK after &amp;quot;apparent change of command&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
17-Feb-27 Andy King (Cousin) to RBF telegram: Wish you success, keep your temper, you head and your confidence.&lt;br /&gt;
21-Feb-27 RBF has a bounced check, may reflect financial difficulties building.&lt;br /&gt;
28-Feb-27 Telegram AHF to RBF, &amp;quot;terribly worried your not telephoning Saturday&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
28-Feb-27 Hoffman to RBF: &amp;quot;in the meantime you have been able to straighten out the matter so as to give you, at least, some additional time.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''1927, Mar'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
8-Mar-27 RBF to DeCoursey, mentions he is no longer President of Stockade Building System, but only President of the Chicago Corp.&lt;br /&gt;
8-Mar-27 RBF to Fales, the critical board member: &amp;quot;As you may or may not know Mr. Hopkins has succeeded me as President of the Stockade Building System, and I am confining my efforts to the Chicago Corporation.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
14-Mar-27 Frances Freeman fired from Stockade NY office, writes to RBF regarding Farley(?), &amp;quot;when he tried to insinuate about your making misstatements or overstatements, I was always ready to defend you.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
14-Mar-27 Sam to RBF: No longer connected with Stockade. Don't know whether I quit or was fired.&lt;br /&gt;
29-Mar-27 RBF to Sam: Glad to hear you are with the Stockade Building System again. (Did RBF intercede on his behalf?)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''1927, Apr'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7-Apr-27 Sam to RBF: attempt made by Kingsbury to force the Stockade Building System into the hands of a receiver.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''1927, May'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1-May-27 RBF and AHF begin long separation and will not be together again until August. Their letters frequently cite the high cost of frequent long distance telephone calls, and they often trade telegrams.&lt;br /&gt;
14-May-27 Letter AHF to RBF &amp;quot;Oh darling why can't things go decently for us. Probably they will soon. It's just that everything's seemed to pile down on us this year starting with Farley's skunky trick but that wasn't very long ago and we were awfully happy last fall so perhaps we'll be awfully happy again very soon and it won't have been so bad.... I've been feeling alrightish lately but I'm getting to look awfully big which is very sad.&amp;quot; (last part added in pencil; Anne is six months pregnant.)&lt;br /&gt;
14-May-27 Clipping, Fire Protection of Bus Garages, Electric Railway Journal. . Pencil notation- &amp;quot;Suggest you pass this to…&amp;quot; (Busses will be an important example to Fuller of prefabricated shelter.)&lt;br /&gt;
20-May-27 Charles Augustus Lindbergh makes his prize-winning solo nonstop flight from New York's Long Island to Paris, France, a distance of nearly 3,600 statute miles (5,800 km), in the single-seat, single-engine purpose-built Ryan monoplane Spirit of St. Louis. As a result of this flight, Lindbergh was the first person in history to be in New York one day and Paris the next. (The flight was a great inspiration to RBF and he cites it in his first presentations that were to place in St. Louis in 1928.)&lt;br /&gt;
28-May-27 RBF to Albert MacCarthy: I am no longer connected with the Stockade Building System, Inc. in New York other than as a stockholder and director, but am not very close to its affairs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''1927, June'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Patents are issued to Hewlett &amp;amp; RBF for Stockade related items; A foreclosure suit is discussed against Stockade.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Henry Ford from June to December 1927 galvanizes the American imagination with his launch of the Model A. It was hailed as a triumphant revival, even rebirth, of his Ford Motor Company. In the same period Ford settled the embarassing libel suit against him. He printed apologies for his anti-semitism and ceased publishing such material in his newspapers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Kenneth Snelson is born to Jack Snelson and Mildred Unger Pendleton, Orgeon, 21-Jun-27. Fuller will meet Snelson twenty-one years later, in 1948, and together they will discover tensegrity.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''1927, July'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
More Stockade patents awarded to RBF.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
13-Jul-27 AHF to RBF: &amp;quot;We can live on these small inheritances and trust payments if necessary.&amp;quot; Anne indicated that they might live on her small inheritance and trust money, but instead she gives it to her brothers to manage instead, an act that stung RBF, who considered it to be a selfish betrayal.&lt;br /&gt;
13-Jul-27 AHF to RBF: &amp;quot;What does old skunk Farley say about your expense acct.? I was wild when I heard the 1,000 was from your stock &amp;amp; not the account money at all. You are going to get that paid aren't you darling?... I guess with Geo. Cross around you can fix things so that Farley can't do any nasty tricks while you're away.&amp;quot; ($1,000 in 1927 is $13,000 in today's money; Fuller was in a real financial crisis by this point.)&lt;br /&gt;
21-Jul-27 AHF to RBF: (Planning her arrival in Chicago). &amp;quot;I think your idea about living at the Virginia is the best; during the hot weather and all we wouldn’t want to struggle over getting settled and cooking etc.&amp;quot; Anne knows Fuller's problems with Hopkins as well as Stockade Midwest's reluctance to reimburse his expenses. But Fuller will greet her in one of the finest hotels in Chicago.&lt;br /&gt;
23-Jul-27 Acoustic test results of Stockade walls are delivered.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''1927, Aug'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4D company is mentioned as a fully formed idea in RBF's scrapbook.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7-Aug-27 Balance sheet, shows good financial trend when he took Anne to Chicago, had half a million 2007 dollars, and Fuller expected that his hard work had built the foundation for a secure future. However, all this paper value evaporates over the next month.&lt;br /&gt;
7-Aug-27 AHF begins her diary, starting August 7th ending 14 Dec 1928, that reveals much rich information about the period. Though the diary begins on her arrival, neither she nor RBF make any further entries until November, where &amp;quot;Fuller Houses&amp;quot; is cited as an already formed idea under discussion.&lt;br /&gt;
15-Aug-27 The first of eight Virginia Hotel receipts is paid and stored in the scrapbook.&lt;br /&gt;
28-Aug-27 A second daughter is born to the couple and named &amp;quot;Allegra.&amp;quot; This birth is experienced by RBF and Anne as a rebirth.&lt;br /&gt;
* Her name is alliteratively similar to &amp;quot;Alexandra&amp;quot;, both names begin with short &amp;quot;ALLE&amp;quot;, end in short &amp;quot;RA,&amp;quot; and feature a hard consonant between.&lt;br /&gt;
* RBF highly identifies with the baby's birth, to the extent that he prints his own fingerprints next to the baby's footprints. In celebrating the baby's arrival, RBF makes his first mention of the company he has been considering, named &amp;quot;4D.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
* The 4D name is a play on two of Fuller's main inspirations: fourth dimensional geometries of Einstein and Bragdon, and the industrial production of Henry Ford. The name 4D is based on FORD. RBF writes, &amp;quot;WHEREAS the 4D Company is soon to outgiant the collosus of Detroit, having economically cut corners around it, even to a 50% reduction in the quantity of letters necessary to the indication of its name, and material stabilization of that quantity, by removal of its doubtful 'or' ....&amp;quot; Fuller's citation of Ford is done during Ford's dramatic rebirth and recovery of the automobile market through his release of the model A.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''1927, Sept'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even as the proud new parents celebrate the birth (or re-birth) of their daughter, RBF realizes he will not get any more money or value out of Stockade.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
9-Sep-27 The first of two nurses are employed by the Fullers.&lt;br /&gt;
14-Sep-27 AHF to her father (rare typed letter): &amp;quot;I really am very much impressed with Chicago this time. Its so beautifully kept up in this section and everyone seems to be working so hard to make it more beautiful and efficient and finer in every way.... Bucky is awfully busy with his business and his family but he seems as happy as a King and simply adores the baby. We really can't believe we've actually got a little girl. I was so sure it would be a boy and we were awfully depressed about it.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
27-Sep-27 Hewlett informs RBF he intends to sell some more Stockade stock (one year after his sale in Sept. 1926), or use it as collateral for a loan. He lobbies RBF to find a good buyer: &amp;quot;I should like it to get into the hands of someone who would back you up, so that it the reason why I am suggesting that you find someone out in Chicago that would take up a proposition of this kind.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''1927, Oct'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The October diary does not have day-to-day information like it will from November forward. Fuller is beaten and robbed, and would have recuperated this month. A part time nurse is working with the Fullers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1-Oct-27 Chamberlain to RBF: indicates that RBF worked with multiple people on the house model; he also alludes to an earlier patent controversy; this may have been part of RBF's trouble with the Stockade board.&lt;br /&gt;
8-Oct-27 RBF notes in his diary, &amp;quot;Burdsal out of Stockade.&amp;quot; Burdsal's position in Stockade not clear.&lt;br /&gt;
13-Oct-27 RBF held up and beaten&lt;br /&gt;
21-Oct-27 RBF Paints AHF Holding Allegra&lt;br /&gt;
29-Oct-27 RBF notes in his diary, &amp;quot;R.B.F. Business Troubles&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
30-Oct-27 AHF Paints Allegra Sleeping&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''1927, Nov'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The nurses complete their work by 9 November. RBF saves a pamphlet from church in his scrapbook, &amp;quot;What is it to believe in Christ?&amp;quot; He is attending church most Sundays and his diary often notes that following services he enjoys a long walk back to his hotel room. The pamphlet and RBF's regular church attendance during this period may be indications of Fuller attempting to deal with the crisis he is undergoing. Church pamphlets are rare in Fuller's archives; there is only one other known, dating from 1922.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1-Nov-27 Chamberlain to RBF, Chamberlain patents would pose a conflict as he is a Stockade employee.&lt;br /&gt;
1-Nov-27 Stockade thanks RBF in a letter, made $1K net and sales were starting to exceed production.&lt;br /&gt;
3-Nov-27 RBF notes in his diary, &amp;quot;RBF out of Stockade&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
14-Nov-27 RBF notes in his diary, Allegra is making her first sounds with her mouth. (RBF is highly identifying with his newborn daughter, and will speak later of mumbling and making sounds himself. This notation is made on the fifth death anniversary of Alexandra)&lt;br /&gt;
21-Nov-27 AHF notes in her diary, &amp;quot;Bucky saw Mr. Stedman - first vice president of the Celotex Company. They had a good talk &amp;amp; we are quite hopeful. He will let Bucky know definitely tomorrow.&amp;quot; (RBF does not end up getting the job.)&lt;br /&gt;
22-Nov-27 AHF: &amp;quot;RBF Got Job - Waukegan.&amp;quot; Franklyn Muller Asbestone floors offers RBF to represent the Waukegan, WI company in Chicago.&lt;br /&gt;
22-Nov-27 Fuller Houses appears in the diary as a completely formulated idea; Fuller must have been working on it while at Stockade. Diary entry: &amp;quot;Bucky… saw Intratiane (old Stockade salesman) and talked about 'Fuller Houses.'&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
23-Nov-27 RBF takes Muller job, as Cellotex job did not materialize. AHF in diary: &amp;quot;Celotex called - Neil Ryan had no job, very friendly tho &amp;amp; offered his own or company's help. Said when plan finished see him re financing. Letter came from Mr. Smythe at Waukegan giving Bucky that job a only $50 per week with commissions. Quite a relief to us. Bucky went to Joliet, ran into Farley at Tomlinson's - as usual most disagreeable. Tomlinson spent afternoon with Bucky conferring on 'Fuller Houses.' Simply thrilled with whole scheme. Bucky spoke to Marti who is getting sick of Farely's cussing out Bucky. Farley told him not to let RBF in plant. He was wild at the thought of Celotex taking RBF on. Marti very interested to know about RBF's 'Fuller House' plan. Talk with Geo Cross on tel. in evening after Bucky got home at 10:30.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''1927, Dec'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
RBF selling Muller floors.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1-Dec-27 RBF is seeking a new hotel that is cheaper than the Virginia. He begins to keep a detailed budget. A typical day includes newspaper, food and a movie.&lt;br /&gt;
4-Dec-27 CHURCH AHF: &amp;quot;Bucky went to church. Very inspiring sermon at St. Chrysostom's. Then looked at apartments as we must move.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
4-Dec-27 RBF pays for a speaking course and begins practicing speaking at home. His diary will now often speak of his practicing oration.&lt;br /&gt;
5-Dec-27 RBF: &amp;quot;Moved from Virginia to Hotel Lake View. Anne pretty much upset.&amp;quot; Anne finds Lake View &amp;quot;small &amp;amp; frightful.&amp;quot; This negative experience, from the luxurious Virginia to a single room, was a trauma that was re-told later by Bucky as &amp;quot;moving to a tenement.&amp;quot; Note that the building was a new apartment hotel in a good neighborhood.&lt;br /&gt;
6-Dec-27 Diary, &amp;quot;AHF got very sad again. &amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
8-Dec-27 AHF: &amp;quot;We moved into sunnier room.&amp;quot; They would move again six months later to a much larger apartment with a view.&lt;br /&gt;
11-Dec-27 After Church, AHF and RBF see Emil Janneys in &amp;quot;The Way of All Flesh.&amp;quot; Emil Jannings won the Oscar for that film, in which the main character is a failure, poor and destitute.&lt;br /&gt;
13-Dec-27 RBF practices public speaking for Hewlett his father-in-law, who is on a rare visit to Chicago.&lt;br /&gt;
17-Dec-27 RBF to Rasin: I am no longer connected with the Stockade Building System, but am with its subsidiary Stockade Midwest Corporation… Stockade Building System passed into the hands of Farley Hopkins&lt;br /&gt;
20-Dec-27 RBF: Savings account started.&lt;br /&gt;
25-Dec-27 RBF describes their Lake View Hotel apartment hotel as &amp;quot;a small, clean, safe place… a one-room flat in a new fire-proof apartment building at Clark and Belmont, at $22 a month.&amp;quot; In 2007 dollars that would be about $270.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''1928, Jan'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fuller is still selling Muller floors, but his diary reflects a building stream of highly excited, intense and strenuous intellectual activity. Fuller often cites God, talks about changing how he eats and acts, and in general shows signs of a transformation that is taking a deepening hold on him. Fuller will say later that, in 1927, he was considering suicide, but heard voices and other unusual activity that convinced him to focus on his ideas and their implementation, no matter what the cost.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1-Jan-28 4D calendar drawn up. Sending letters about 4D houses.&lt;br /&gt;
3-Jan-28 RBF: RBF buys a typewriter on payments.&lt;br /&gt;

29-Jan-28 RBF notes in diary, &amp;quot;Slept too late to got to church. Read Sunday paper in bed. Up and took long run around Belmont Harbor Park.&amp;quot; He is now running daily.&lt;br /&gt;
30-Jan-28 RBF notes in diary, &amp;quot;read Le Corbusier until very late at night. Startled at coincidence of results arrived at in comparison to Fuller Houses but misses main philosophy of home as against house.&amp;quot; This is Corbusier’s 1923 Vers Une Architecture. According to diary 30-Jan borrowed book, 1-Feb returned it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''1928, Feb'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While still selling Muller floors, Fuller discovers this the diary of an ancestor, Margaret Fuller, that articulates the personal identity crisis that he has undergone&amp;quot; &amp;quot;I saw how long it must be before the soul can learn to act under these limitations of time and space, and human nature; but I saw, also, that it MUST do it,--that it must make all this false true,--and sow new and immortal plants in the garden of God, before it could return again. I saw there was no self; that selfishness was all folly, and the result of circumstance; that it was only because I thought self real that I suffered; that I had only to live in the idea of the ALL, and all was mine.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The significance of this event echoes throughout near all of Fuller's subsequent work. Over fifty years later he wrote to a scholar of Margaret Fuller, &amp;quot;I was an inherent business failure. In 1927, at the age of 32, I decided to do away with myself or to start doing my own thinking, and doing it only on behalf of everybody on our Planet and never for self, or for 'my side.; It was then that I unleashed an enormous stream of thought and started writing feverishly. I came to ponder the phenomenon 'time' as a scientific entity. I found that Goethe had written regarding time per se. Searching the books by and about Goethe in the Chicago library, I came upon a book titled 'Margaret Fuller and Goethe'. It was written by a man called Braun who was the head of the German Philosophy Department at Harvard. It was there and then that I began to discover the real Margaret. I had inherited some of her books and the 'Memoirs.' I had never before thought to read them. I acquired and am still acquiring everything that I can find that is published about her. I was amazed to find that my thinking and writing frequently coincided with her ways of thinking and writing.&amp;quot; (RBF to Marie Urbanski, May 18, 1980)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

9-Feb-28 AHF notes in diary, RBF is at the library looking up Fuller stuff. This is probably when he discovers &amp;quot;Margaret Fuller and Goethe&amp;quot; by Braun. He draws a sketch about Lightful Houses showing baby Allegra, Church (God), love and sun. He writes on it, &amp;quot;Spirit house. The new tool! Metal! Fibre stress. Stem based compression, etc. Utilizing dynamics and tensile strength. Gravity. Self truing or plumbing. Wire rope.&amp;quot; Tensegrity researchers will note this focus, from the start, on disassociating tension and compression in new, modern ways.&lt;br /&gt;
17-Feb-28 AHF notes in diary some gangster activity, the &amp;quot;assault on Capt. Hart &amp;amp; capture of man who did it.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
19-Feb-28 Budget notes, Fuller House Exp $3.00. This is the first of many similar notations.&lt;br /&gt;
20-Feb-28 RBF: &amp;quot;Stoddard and I walked up to the Drake to discuss Fuller Houses. He much taken with the whole idea and its philosophy. Glad to hear me say that god was the basis of the plan.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
21-Feb-28 RBF: &amp;quot;Read Corbusier. Read diary of Timothy Fuller.&amp;quot; (Not clear if this is his great-great-grandfather or his great-grandfather.)&lt;br /&gt;
23-Feb-28 Fuller works day and night on his ideas. He writes, &amp;quot;Ate no lunch, plan to give it up for lent &amp;amp; if it works well, permanently. RBF worked on Fuller Houses corporation book and chart all evening working out fields of utility and procedure of various departments. Worked out architectural dept. Had long discussion with Anne on the philosophy of the business end, the business side. The deals of the business world or rather lack of it. Bought cold cream, Sat. Eve. Post, House Beautiful. To bed 3 a.m. RBF received letter &amp;amp; stock certificate for 100 shares S.B.S from Sam Hoffman.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
25-Feb-28 Diary: &amp;quot;Started keeping front page of Chicago Tribune for diary of outstanding events, weather, etc. for comparisons with diary. Most important event by the way was news of electromagnetic motor being tested in Detroit by Lindberg &amp;amp; others.... RBF discussed Fuller Houses with Mr. Macleod who was much impressed with this logic. He is a possibility for sales, etc. in Fuller House organization. &amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
28-Feb-28 RBF notes in his diary, he needs lawyers to help on Stockade matters. The legal matters are not spelled out, though stock settlements are discussed and the issue fades from the diary by end 1928.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''1928, Mar'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Selling Muller floors for the last month: this task is not mentioned again, but no particular stopping date is noted either.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4-Mar-28 RBF draws Allegra's profile alongside his own, the second of three renderings at birth, this date at six months old, and finally at ten months old. By drawing Allegra and his own limbs, Fuller demonstrates continuing self-identification with his developing infant--she is unfolding into the world and he is as well. This association with his daughter's rebirth--along with the rebirth of his hero Henry Ford--as well as his ongoing oration lessons, helps explain his later reports of experiencing the world completely anew, to the extent that he even had to re-learn how to talk.&lt;br /&gt;
19-Mar-28 RBF: &amp;quot;Saw Dave Taber &amp;amp;. discussed Stockade further. Hopkins demanded settle by Thursday.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
19-Mar-28 Hewlett to RBF: &amp;quot;You have not merely done something absolutely improper but you have put him in the position of having his loyalty to you endager his position with Hopkins.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
21-Mar-28 RBF: &amp;quot;RBF out to sell stock &amp;amp; p[...]] to make settlement but Taber informed him that Hopkins would accept his stock.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
24-Mar-28 RBF: &amp;quot;Wrote &amp;amp; sketched in the park.... RBF down to see Hinkley in R. Walcott's office and finished drawings for patent attorney.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
25-Mar-28 RBF: &amp;quot;RBF to church and to Art Institute. Walked home. Took out baby in afternoon &amp;amp; Anne to Art Institute. Spent evening both sketching and RBF reading out loud philosophy of Henry Ford, etc.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
27-Mar-28 RBF: &amp;quot;...afraid of market crash. Discussed Fuller Houses with Mr. Douglas and he said he would like to put money in it.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''1928, Apr'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
RBF has read Margaret Fuller's diary by this time. No direct indication of this is recorded in the diaries or scrapbook, but in May he will discuss it repeatedly and excitedly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1-Apr-28 Draft of Speech Talk for May 1928 AIA Convention. Fuller relies upon a combination of prayer, criticism, and recent events. He renders drawings of round tubular metal casings, bags of gas filled under high pressure, piano steel wire forming floors over pneumatic struts, wire floors to be covered with pneumatic bladders and fabricoid carpet. A tripod pneumatic building unit mast, a triangular arrangement of spheroidal pneumatic pressure and metallic tension with wire tension supports. The basic ingredients of tensegrity are present, but will require two decades before they emerge in 'floating compression' form.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''1928, May'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3-May-28 RBF to his mother: &amp;quot;I have been reading much of and by Margaret Fuller lately. I am astounded to find that same things I have been writing myself are about identical to things I find in her writings. I am terribly interested and am astounded further that I should have grown to this age and never have read anything of her or grandfather Fuller's. His writing is excellent. It seems funny to find Ossoli clubs out here with people studying her and idolizing her and my not knowing of her except by name and as a relation to be proud of, but without knowledge as to why. I think Rosy would enjoy very much reading her books, and about her. All the libraries have her books. You will probably think me a dummy always as the books were always in the Milton house, but I seem just to have grown up to the point where I wanted naturally to read them, in fact am reading a great deal of everything. I have written a long essay on what is wrong in the building business and what should be done about it, etc.... &amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
17-May-28 American Institute of Architects (AIA) St. Louis, Missouri meeting; RBF discusses and distributes 4D Time Lock with anyone who will listen. He is denied a formal setting.&lt;br /&gt;
21-May-28 Following the AIA meeting RBF writes a manuscript, &amp;quot;4D Time Lock,&amp;quot; and quotes Margaret Fuller from her Woman in the Nineteenth Century at length regarding intuition. &amp;quot;As a closing admonition to this chapter on the proposed industrial projection of the combined arts in architecture for the birth of a new world culture; there is most applicable the philosophy of Margaret Fuller, Marchessa d'Oosoli, critic and inspirational mentor of American literature, quoting from her Woman in the Nineteenth Century, 'What I mean by the Muse is that unimpeded clearness of the intuitive powers, which a perfectly truthful adherence to every admonition of the higher instincts would bring to a finely organized human being--Should these faculties have free play, I believe they will open new, deeper and purer sources of joyous inspiration than have yet refreshed the earth. Let us be wise and not impede the soul.'&amp;quot; -- Chapter 10, The Revolution in Design. The Industrial ARTS vs Selfish Creation. The New Scale and the Time dimension.&lt;br /&gt;
28-May-28 RBF mails his 4D memeographed book to friends, acquaintances and influential people.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''1928, June'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4-Jun-28 Hewlitt writes about the AIA meeting, &amp;quot;I read your pamphlet very carefully.&amp;quot; His lack of citation of any presentation at St. Louis is significant evidence that Fuller did not present there in any public forum.&lt;br /&gt;
12-Jun-28 RBF writes to his sister Rosy, &amp;quot;I have been absolutely astounded at the significance of Margaret Fuller which none of us (present generation of our family) have realized, and upon which I have more or less stumbled at this distant point from home… The Library here has many books about her being published from time to time by Philosophy professors....&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''1928, July'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1-Jul-28 Move to 426 Belmont Harbor Apartment, 11th floor apartment 1006. Fuller takes and develops a photo of the view from his window.&lt;br /&gt;
8-Jul-28 RBF renders his apartment architectural plan:4 rooms with closets: Foyer, bedroom, living room, dinette and kitchen. It features a service and passenger elevator. NW, there is a view of Yacht Harbor, NE a view of Yacht Harbor, Lake Michigan and Lincoln Park; SE from the private bath a view of Belmont Ave. This is a fine apartment and far from a tenement.&lt;br /&gt;
9-Jul-28 Hewlett to RBF July 9 1928: returning some of the materials as he has not enough time to read them; your idea needs more work&lt;br /&gt;
16-Jul-28 RBF to his mother, &amp;quot;Houses will be in production in under 3 years.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''1928, Aug-Dec'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
RBF continues to follow up on the 4D Timelock material.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
31-Aug-28 RBF to Buffington: &amp;quot;[I]] lost control in the bosom of an ethics fog.&amp;quot; This reference indicates his own role in the earlier Stockade troubles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The diary ends 14 Dec 1928.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''1929, Jan - Feb'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
RBF works with design students in Chicago. Constructs the second 4D House model.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''1929, Apr'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Two-week exhibition of the 4D House in the Marshall Field Department Store, Chicago. Creation of the &amp;quot;Dymaxion&amp;quot; word and concept by the Marshall Field advertising staff. RBF holds six half-hour lectures daily.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
'''1929, Oct-Dec'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the close of 1928, Fuller was firmly set on his new path, marketing a new house concept, producing models and prototypes and speaking about the philosophy behind the execution. This pattern of &amp;quot;philosophy mechanically applied&amp;quot; would sustain him throughout his long career. He had, in Loretta Lorance's words, truly &amp;quot;become Bucky Fuller.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Biotensegrity by Graham Scarr book cover [http://www.tensegrityinbiology.co.uk/]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=What is tensegrity?= &lt;br /&gt;
Tensegrity is the way the world organizes itself. Build or buy a model and experience it yourself!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Why learn about it?= &lt;br /&gt;
Whatever your goal in life, it's good to understand how the world works. Tensegrity, discovered about 60 years ago, is a new way of understanding forces at play. Whether you are building a business, designing household objects, building robots, or trying to live sustainably in a resource-challenged world, tensegrity offers innovative ways of thinking about how parts and wholes interact.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=What is Tensegrity Wiki, The Encyclopedia of Tensegrity?= &lt;br /&gt;
This website is a wiki dedicated to exploring the field of tensegrity, a subset of energetic-synergetic geometry. It is intended to use the &amp;quot;power of crowds&amp;quot; to fine-tune and make available accurate knowledge about tensegrities. This includes all aspects of tensegrity including structural tensegrity sculptures, dynamically adjusting tensegrity robotics, biotensegrity as expressed in cellular mechanics, biotensegrity as expressed in mammalian anatomical fascial/bone structure, tensegrity therapy as a set of mind-body practices, tensegrity as it illuminates ancient philosophies of harmony, music and dance inspired by tensegrity, and so on.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=How do I get started?= &lt;br /&gt;
Dive into one of our categories, which organize the entries into themes, or access one of our most popular pages: [[Chronology of Tensegrity]], [[Bridge]], [[3 struts]], [[Icosahedron]], [[Bicycle Wheel]], [[How To Build A 30 Strut Soda Straw Dodecahedron]], [[How To Build A 3 Strut Copper Base for a Table]], [[Furniture]], [[Arch]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Or write your own entry!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Who can contribute?== &lt;br /&gt;
* University students using the wiki in their studies&lt;br /&gt;
* Anyone.&lt;br /&gt;
* Language? A lot of important work in tensegrity is being conducted as tenségrité (French), tensegridad (Spanish), Tensintegro (Italian), טנסגריטי (Hebrew). But multi-language support is not enabled on this wiki. For now, let's store articles in other languages along with the English ones.&lt;br /&gt;
* Questions? Contact tensegritywiki at gmail, the Wiki moderator.&lt;br /&gt;

=What is tensegrity?= &lt;br /&gt;
Tensegrity is the way the world organizes itself. Build or buy a model and experience it yourself!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Why learn about it?= &lt;br /&gt;
Whatever your goal in life, it's good to understand how the world works. Tensegrity, discovered about 60 years ago, is a new way of understanding forces at play. Whether you are building a business, designing household objects, building robots, or trying to live sustainably in a resource-challenged world, tensegrity offers innovative ways of thinking about how parts and wholes interact.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=What is Tensegrity Wiki, The Encyclopedia of Tensegrity?= &lt;br /&gt;
This website is a wiki dedicated to exploring the field of tensegrity, a subset of energetic-synergetic geometry. It is intended to use the &amp;quot;power of crowds&amp;quot; to fine-tune and make available accurate knowledge about tensegrities. This includes all aspects of tensegrity including structural tensegrity sculptures, dynamically adjusting tensegrity robotics, biotensegrity as expressed in cellular mechanics, biotensegrity as expressed in mammalian anatomical fascial/bone structure, tensegrity therapy as a set of mind-body practices, tensegrity as it illuminates ancient philosophies of harmony, music and dance inspired by tensegrity, and so on.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=How do I get started?= &lt;br /&gt;
Dive into one of our categories, which organize the entries into themes, or access one of our most popular pages: [[Chronology of Tensegrity]], [[Bridge]], [[3 struts]], [[Icosahedron]], [[Bicycle Wheel]], [[How To Build A 30 Strut Soda Straw Dodecahedron]], [[How To Build A 3 Strut Copper Base for a Table]], [[Furniture]], [[Arch]].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Read here about Professor Donald Ingber, one of the first mainstream biological researchers to posit tensegrity as the best explanation for mechanobiological structure. Due to his work, the cytoskeleton is now widely believed to be a tensegrity structure, and tensegrity mechanics at the cellular level is now close to replacing all previous mechanical models of the cell.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ingber has demonstrated a direct tensegrity-type link between the surface of the [[Cells, Biological|cell ]]and the cell nucleus [3].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Short Biography of Ingber= &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Donald A. Ingber is Senior Associate in Pathology and Surgery of the Vascular Biology Program, Judah Folkman Professor in Vascular Biology, Harvard Medical School. He simultaneously received his MD and PhD from Yale University. He is credited on over 20 patents which cover technologies ranging from new cancer drugs and drug-screening assays to medical devices, micromanufacturing techniques, and computer software.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Donald Ingber is interested in how cell structure and mechanics impact cellular biochemistry and tissue development. His research approach has combined techniques from various fields, including molecular cell biology, engineering, chemistry, physics, and computer science.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Tensegrity Concepts in Ingber's Work= &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Inspired by Snelson== &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ingber wrote in [4]: &amp;quot;Strangely, my story starts in an undergraduate art class, which I elected to take even though I was a science major. One day my professor brought in a ‘tensegrity’ sculpture into class made of [[Strut, Materials|sticks]] and [[Tendon, Materials|elastic strings]] that looked much like this [[Skwish|toy]] I am holding before you right now. This structure is composed of sticks connected by elastic strings. Without the sticks, the network of strings would lose its shape and become limp, like a spider web cut from its attachments. But because the sticks resist the inward pull of the strings, the whole structure is placed in a state of isometric tension that stabilizes it in this round form. The tensegrity building system was first described by [[Fuller, Richard Buckminster|Buckminster Fuller]], the inventor of the geodesic dome, and the sculptor [[Snelson, Kenneth|Kenneth Snelson]]. It gains its shape stability by balancing tension and compression between struts and strings, just like [[Bone|bones]] and muscles do in our body. For example, the stiffness of my extended arm depends on the level of isometric tension or ‘tone’ in muscles, just like in this model.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;As my art professor spoke, he pushed this round sculpture flat, and when he let go, it leapt up in the air. This was interesting, because I had seen the same behavior just days before when I first learned how to culture cells across the campus in a medical school laboratory. Cells flatten when they adhere to a culture dish, but when you detach them, they round up and jump off the dish just like this toy. This was in the mid 1970s when people still thought of cells like water balloons filled with molasses. But scientists had recently discovered that all cells have an internal skeleton made of molecular ‘acto-myosin’ filaments that generate mechanical tension, as in muscle. So I just assumed that cells must be tensegrity structures.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Later, when I went back to the medical school lab, and saw cancer cells changing shape under the microscope in response to a drug we were testing, I spurted out something like, 'Oh, the tensegrity must have changed'. The postdoc I was working with said, 'What did you say?', and I explained about my art class and Buckminster Fuller, and the sculptor Snelson, and sticks and strings; and he said, 'Well, never say that again'. And, as they say, that was the beginning of the rest of my life.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Mechanical forces regulate cellular activity== &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nancy Fleiser wrote, &amp;quot;Ingber argues that mechanical forces - pushes, pulls, tensions, compressions - are important regulators of cell development and behavior. Tensegrity provides the structure - the architecture if you will - that determines how these physical forces are distributed inside a cell or tissue, and how and where they exert their influence... In trying to reestablish a physical view of biology, Ingber has shown that cells, far from being formless blobs, use tension to stabilize their structure. And he has demonstrated, through two decades of experiments, that tensegrity not only gives cells their shape, but helps regulate their biochemistry.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ingber [2] uses tensegrity as [[Fuller, Richard Buckminster|Fuller]] describes it in [[http://www.rwgrayprojects.com/synergetics/s07/p8100.html#784.00|Synergetics section 784]]. He posits the tension and compression elements of the cytoskeleton as follows, though he does not stipulate the precise mechanics of the implementation:&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Compression]]: tubulin, a stiff component, and&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Tension]]: actin, a tension component&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==The cytoskeleton is a tensegrity scaffold== &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ingber focuses on the internal scaffold or cytoskeleton of the cell. This is a lattice that can be divided into tension and compression members, not unlike the division into tubes and wires that you see in a [[Snelson, Kenneth|Snelson]] sculpture. Fleiser wrote, &amp;quot;The 'wires' are a crisscrossing network of fine cables, known as microfilaments, that stretch from the cell membrane to the nucleus, exerting an inward pull. Opposing the pull are microtubules, the thicker compression-bearing &amp;quot;struts&amp;quot; of the cytoskeleton, and specialized receptor molecules on the cell's outer membrane that anchor the cell to the extracellular matrix, the fibrous substance that holds groups of cells together. This balance of forces is the hallmark of tensegrity.&amp;quot; The cell's components position and role in the tensegrity is integrated as well into their bioinformatic functionality.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Tension-bearing members are geodesic== &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;The tension-bearing members in these structures – whether [[Fuller, Richard Buckminster|Fuller's ]]domes or Snelson's sculptures – map out the shortest paths between adjacent members (and are therefore, by definition, arranged geodesically) Tensional forces naturally transmit themselves over the shortest distance between two points, so the members of a tensegrity structure are precisely positioned to best withstand stress. For this reason, tensegrity structures offer a maximum amount of strength.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ingber's 2009 Pritzker Award Lecture provides a great overview of the state of cell cytoskeleton comprehension in terms of tensegrity. Ingber divides his talk into eight sections: 1. The living cell as a mechanical structure, 2. A strange idea: tensegrity in cells, 3. Engineering approaches provide new insights into cell structure, 4. Integrins as mechanoreceptors, 5. Structural hierarchies for force transmission in living systems, 6. Solid-state biochemistry and cellular mechanotransduction, 7. Mechanical control of cell function and tissue development and 8. Bioinspired technology fallout. The talk includes a good overview of tensegrity, and details on cell shape stability mechanisms, such as force balances between compressive microtubule struts and tensile actomyosin filaments. He also describes the activity of integrin receptors in the scope of the model. Ingber finds the global nature of tensegrity a good explanation for the behavior of transmembrane surface receptor molecules (e.g., growth factor receptors, integrins, cadherins) and how they induce shape transitions at their cytoplasmic faces, mediating transmembrane signaling.

How Cells (Might) Sense Micro Gravity by Ingber&lt;br /&gt;
http://www.scribd.com/doc/29350783/How-Cells-Might-Sense-Micro-Gravity-by-Ingber&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This article is a summary of a lecture presented at an ESA/NASA Workshop on Cell and Molecular Biology Research in Space that convened in Leuven, Belgium, in June 1998. Recent studies are reviewed which suggest that cells may sense mechanical stresses, including those due to gravity, through changes in the balance of forces that are transmitted across transmembrane adhesion receptors that link the cytoskeleton to the extracellular matrix and to other cells (e.g., integrins, cadherins, selectins). The mechanism by which these mechanical signals are transduced and converted into a biochemical response appears to be based, in part, on the finding that living cells use a tension-dependent form of architecture, known as tensegrity, to organize and stabilize their cytoskeleton. Because of tensegrity, the cellular response to stress differs depending on the level of pre-stress (pre-existing tension) in the cytoskeleton and it involves all three cytoskeletal filament systems as well as nuclear scaffolds. Recent studies confirm that alterations in the cellular force balance can influence intracellular biochemistry within focal adhesion complexes that form at the site of integrin binding as well as gene expression in the nucleus. These results suggest that gravity sensation may not result from direct activation of any single gravioreceptor molecule. Instead, gravitational forces may be experienced by individual cells in the living organism as a result of stress-dependent changes in cell, tissue, or organ structure that, in turn, alter extracellular matrix mechanics, cell shape, cytoskeletal organization, or internal pre-stress in the cell-tissue matrix.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
A powerpoint presentation by Ingber, the world's leading proponent of a tensegrity-based view of cellular structure. The slide deck includes: How are living cells and tissues constructed? A linear view of tissue development(tumor angiogenesis). Local control during angiogenesis, with branching patterns. Extracellular matrix: cells exert tension on their matrix adhesions. Micromechanical control of morphogenesis. Underlying hypothesis: Ecm remodeling changes local mechanics, Increasing ecm flexibility promotes cell stretching, Tension on adhesion receptors &amp;amp; distortion of the cytoskeleton alters cellular biochemistry. Laboratory evidence shows, stretching cells makes them grow and rounded cells die. Cell distortion redirects molecular self-assembly in the cytoskeleton &amp;amp; extracellular matrix guided by localized tension application in cell corners. Local rules &amp;amp; physical determinants govern pattern formation (“symmetry breaking” in mammalian cells). Patterning predicted by whole cell behaviors. Cell fate switching depends on physicality of microenvironment: spatial heterogeneity of cell fates drives morphogenesis. How are cells constructed so that they can sense force? Old view: cells are like water balloons. New view: cells are built like tensegrities, or tensile structured tents. Evidence for this: Resting tension (prestress) in living stress fibers revealed using laser nano-surgery (“tensed cables”), microtubules are semi- flexible compression struts, tensegrity predicts adhesion receptors act as mechanoreceptors, magnetic twisting &amp;amp; pulling cytometry. Research has confirmed many tensegrity model predictions such as (1) Linear relation between stiffness and applied stress (2) Cell mechanics depends on prestress (3) Linear relation between stiffness and prestress (4) Hysteresivity independent of prestress (5) Quantitative prediction of cellular elasticity (6) Prediction of dynamic mechanical behavior (7) Mechanical contribution of intermediate filaments to cell mechanics (8) Microtubules bear compression (9) A local stress can produce distant responses (10) Cortical membrane acts as a prestressed tensegrity. Tensegrity focuses force on molecules in the extracellular matrix and cytoskeleton. Tensegrity provides a mechanism to integrate both local and distant structural responses when forces are transmitted through the cytoskeleton. Signal integration through cell distortion: cells act locally, but “think” globally. Extracellular matrix &amp;amp; cytoskeleton not just structural supports they also are key developmental regulators because they mediate mechanical signaling: a Network model explains their decision making better than a linear model.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Read here about Professor Donald Ingber, one of the first mainstream biological researchers to posit tensegrity as the best explanation for mechanobiological structure. Due to his work, the cytoskeleton is now widely believed to be a tensegrity structure, and tensegrity mechanics at the cellular level is now close to replacing all previous mechanical models of the cell.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ingber has demonstrated a direct tensegrity-type link between the surface of the [[Cells, Biological|cell ]]and the cell nucleus [3].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Short Biography of Ingber= &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Donald A. Ingber is Senior Associate in Pathology and Surgery of the Vascular Biology Program, Judah Folkman Professor in Vascular Biology, Harvard Medical School. He simultaneously received his MD and PhD from Yale University. He is credited on over 20 patents which cover technologies ranging from new cancer drugs and drug-screening assays to medical devices, micromanufacturing techniques, and computer software.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Donald Ingber is interested in how cell structure and mechanics impact cellular biochemistry and tissue development. His research approach has combined techniques from various fields, including molecular cell biology, engineering, chemistry, physics, and computer science.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Tensegrity Concepts in Ingber's Work= &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Inspired by Snelson== &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ingber wrote in [4]: &amp;quot;Strangely, my story starts in an undergraduate art class, which I elected to take even though I was a science major. One day my professor brought in a ‘tensegrity’ sculpture into class made of [[Strut, Materials|sticks]] and [[Tendon, Materials|elastic strings]] that looked much like this [[Skwish|toy]] I am holding before you right now. This structure is composed of sticks connected by elastic strings. Without the sticks, the network of strings would lose its shape and become limp, like a spider web cut from its attachments. But because the sticks resist the inward pull of the strings, the whole structure is placed in a state of isometric tension that stabilizes it in this round form. The tensegrity building system was first described by [[Fuller, Richard Buckminster|Buckminster Fuller]], the inventor of the geodesic dome, and the sculptor [[Snelson, Kenneth|Kenneth Snelson]]. It gains its shape stability by balancing tension and compression between struts and strings, just like [[Bone|bones]] and muscles do in our body. For example, the stiffness of my extended arm depends on the level of isometric tension or ‘tone’ in muscles, just like in this model.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;As my art professor spoke, he pushed this round sculpture flat, and when he let go, it leapt up in the air. This was interesting, because I had seen the same behavior just days before when I first learned how to culture cells across the campus in a medical school laboratory. Cells flatten when they adhere to a culture dish, but when you detach them, they round up and jump off the dish just like this toy. This was in the mid 1970s when people still thought of cells like water balloons filled with molasses. But scientists had recently discovered that all cells have an internal skeleton made of molecular ‘acto-myosin’ filaments that generate mechanical tension, as in muscle. So I just assumed that cells must be tensegrity structures.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Later, when I went back to the medical school lab, and saw cancer cells changing shape under the microscope in response to a drug we were testing, I spurted out something like, 'Oh, the tensegrity must have changed'. The postdoc I was working with said, 'What did you say?', and I explained about my art class and Buckminster Fuller, and the sculptor Snelson, and sticks and strings; and he said, 'Well, never say that again'. And, as they say, that was the beginning of the rest of my life.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Mechanical forces regulate cellular activity== &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nancy Fleiser wrote, &amp;quot;Ingber argues that mechanical forces - pushes, pulls, tensions, compressions - are important regulators of cell development and behavior. Tensegrity provides the structure - the architecture if you will - that determines how these physical forces are distributed inside a cell or tissue, and how and where they exert their influence... In trying to reestablish a physical view of biology, Ingber has shown that cells, far from being formless blobs, use tension to stabilize their structure. And he has demonstrated, through two decades of experiments, that tensegrity not only gives cells their shape, but helps regulate their biochemistry.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ingber [2] uses tensegrity as [[Fuller, Richard Buckminster|Fuller]] describes it in [[http://www.rwgrayprojects.com/synergetics/s07/p8100.html#784.00|Synergetics section 784]]. He posits the tension and compression elements of the cytoskeleton as follows, though he does not stipulate the precise mechanics of the implementation:&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Compression]]: tubulin, a stiff component, and&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Tension]]: actin, a tension component&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==The cytoskeleton is a tensegrity scaffold== &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ingber focuses on the internal scaffold or cytoskeleton of the cell. This is a lattice that can be divided into tension and compression members, not unlike the division into tubes and wires that you see in a [[Snelson, Kenneth|Snelson]] sculpture. Fleiser wrote, &amp;quot;The 'wires' are a crisscrossing network of fine cables, known as microfilaments, that stretch from the cell membrane to the nucleus, exerting an inward pull. Opposing the pull are microtubules, the thicker compression-bearing &amp;quot;struts&amp;quot; of the cytoskeleton, and specialized receptor molecules on the cell's outer membrane that anchor the cell to the extracellular matrix, the fibrous substance that holds groups of cells together. This balance of forces is the hallmark of tensegrity.&amp;quot; The cell's components position and role in the tensegrity is integrated as well into their bioinformatic functionality.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Tension-bearing members are geodesic== &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;The tension-bearing members in these structures – whether [[Fuller, Richard Buckminster|Fuller's ]]domes or Snelson's sculptures – map out the shortest paths between adjacent members (and are therefore, by definition, arranged geodesically) Tensional forces naturally transmit themselves over the shortest distance between two points, so the members of a tensegrity structure are precisely positioned to best withstand stress. For this reason, tensegrity structures offer a maximum amount of strength.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ingber's 2009 Pritzker Award Lecture provides a great overview of the state of cell cytoskeleton comprehension in terms of tensegrity. Ingber divides his talk into eight sections: 1. The living cell as a mechanical structure, 2. A strange idea: tensegrity in cells, 3. Engineering approaches provide new insights into cell structure, 4. Integrins as mechanoreceptors, 5. Structural hierarchies for force transmission in living systems, 6. Solid-state biochemistry and cellular mechanotransduction, 7. Mechanical control of cell function and tissue development and 8. Bioinspired technology fallout. The talk includes a good overview of tensegrity, and details on cell shape stability mechanisms, such as force balances between compressive microtubule struts and tensile actomyosin filaments. He also describes the activity of integrin receptors in the scope of the model. Ingber finds the global nature of tensegrity a good explanation for the behavior of transmembrane surface receptor molecules (e.g., growth factor receptors, integrins, cadherins) and how they induce shape transitions at their cytoplasmic faces, mediating transmembrane signaling.

How Cells (Might) Sense Micro Gravity by Ingber&lt;br /&gt;
http://www.scribd.com/doc/29350783/How-Cells-Might-Sense-Micro-Gravity-by-Ingber&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This article is a summary of a lecture presented at an ESA/NASA Workshop on Cell and Molecular Biology Research in Space that convened in Leuven, Belgium, in June 1998. Recent studies are reviewed which suggest that cells may sense mechanical stresses, including those due to gravity, through changes in the balance of forces that are transmitted across transmembrane adhesion receptors that link the cytoskeleton to the extracellular matrix and to other cells (e.g., integrins, cadherins, selectins). The mechanism by which these mechanical signals are transduced and converted into a biochemical response appears to be based, in part, on the finding that living cells use a tension-dependent form of architecture, known as tensegrity, to organize and stabilize their cytoskeleton. Because of tensegrity, the cellular response to stress differs depending on the level of pre-stress (pre-existing tension) in the cytoskeleton and it involves all three cytoskeletal filament systems as well as nuclear scaffolds. Recent studies confirm that alterations in the cellular force balance can influence intracellular biochemistry within focal adhesion complexes that form at the site of integrin binding as well as gene expression in the nucleus. These results suggest that gravity sensation may not result from direct activation of any single gravioreceptor molecule. Instead, gravitational forces may be experienced by individual cells in the living organism as a result of stress-dependent changes in cell, tissue, or organ structure that, in turn, alter extracellular matrix mechanics, cell shape, cytoskeletal organization, or internal pre-stress in the cell-tissue matrix.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
A powerpoint presentation by Ingber, the world's leading proponent of a tensegrity-based view of cellular structure. The slide deck includes: How are living cells and tissues constructed? A linear view of tissue development(tumor angiogenesis). Local control during angiogenesis, with branching patterns. Extracellular matrix: cells exert tension on their matrix adhesions. Micromechanical control of morphogenesis. Underlying hypothesis: Ecm remodeling changes local mechanics, Increasing ecm flexibility promotes cell stretching, Tension on adhesion receptors &amp;amp; distortion of the cytoskeleton alters cellular biochemistry. Laboratory evidence shows, stretching cells makes them grow and rounded cells die. Cell distortion redirects molecular self-assembly in the cytoskeleton &amp;amp; extracellular matrix guided by localized tension application in cell corners. Local rules &amp;amp; physical determinants govern pattern formation (“symmetry breaking” in mammalian cells). Patterning predicted by whole cell behaviors. Cell fate switching depends on physicality of microenvironment: spatial heterogeneity of cell fates drives morphogenesis. How are cells constructed so that they can sense force? Old view: cells are like water balloons. New view: cells are built like tensegrities, or tensile structured tents. Evidence for this: Resting tension (prestress) in living stress fibers revealed using laser nano-surgery (“tensed cables”), microtubules are semi- flexible compression struts, tensegrity predicts adhesion receptors act as mechanoreceptors, magnetic twisting &amp;amp; pulling cytometry. Research has confirmed many tensegrity model predictions such as (1) Linear relation between stiffness and applied stress (2) Cell mechanics depends on prestress (3) Linear relation between stiffness and prestress (4) Hysteresivity independent of prestress (5) Quantitative prediction of cellular elasticity (6) Prediction of dynamic mechanical behavior (7) Mechanical contribution of intermediate filaments to cell mechanics (8) Microtubules bear compression (9) A local stress can produce distant responses (10) Cortical membrane acts as a prestressed tensegrity. Tensegrity focuses force on molecules in the extracellular matrix and cytoskeleton. Tensegrity provides a mechanism to integrate both local and distant structural responses when forces are transmitted through the cytoskeleton. Signal integration through cell distortion: cells act locally, but “think” globally. Extracellular matrix &amp;amp; cytoskeleton not just structural supports they also are key developmental regulators because they mediate mechanical signaling: a Network model explains their decision making better than a linear model.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Read here about Professor Donald Ingber, one of the first mainstream biological researchers to posit tensegrity as the best explanation for mechanobiological structure. Due to his work, the cytoskeleton is now widely believed to be a tensegrity structure, and tensegrity mechanics at the cellular level is now close to replacing all previous mechanical models of the cell.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ingber has demonstrated a direct tensegrity-type link between the surface of the [[Cells, Biological|cell ]]and the cell nucleus [3].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Short Biography of Ingber= &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Donald A. Ingber is Senior Associate in Pathology and Surgery of the Vascular Biology Program, Judah Folkman Professor in Vascular Biology, Harvard Medical School. He simultaneously received his MD and PhD from Yale University. He is credited on over 20 patents which cover technologies ranging from new cancer drugs and drug-screening assays to medical devices, micromanufacturing techniques, and computer software.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Donald Ingber is interested in how cell structure and mechanics impact cellular biochemistry and tissue development. His research approach has combined techniques from various fields, including molecular cell biology, engineering, chemistry, physics, and computer science.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Tensegrity Concepts in Ingber's Work= &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Inspired by Snelson== &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ingber wrote in [4]: &amp;quot;Strangely, my story starts in an undergraduate art class, which I elected to take even though I was a science major. One day my professor brought in a ‘tensegrity’ sculpture into class made of [[Strut, Materials|sticks]] and [[Tendon, Materials|elastic strings]] that looked much like this [[Skwish|toy]] I am holding before you right now. This structure is composed of sticks connected by elastic strings. Without the sticks, the network of strings would lose its shape and become limp, like a spider web cut from its attachments. But because the sticks resist the inward pull of the strings, the whole structure is placed in a state of isometric tension that stabilizes it in this round form. The tensegrity building system was first described by [[Fuller, Richard Buckminster|Buckminster Fuller]], the inventor of the geodesic dome, and the sculptor [[Snelson, Kenneth|Kenneth Snelson]]. It gains its shape stability by balancing tension and compression between struts and strings, just like [[Bone|bones]] and muscles do in our body. For example, the stiffness of my extended arm depends on the level of isometric tension or ‘tone’ in muscles, just like in this model.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;As my art professor spoke, he pushed this round sculpture flat, and when he let go, it leapt up in the air. This was interesting, because I had seen the same behavior just days before when I first learned how to culture cells across the campus in a medical school laboratory. Cells flatten when they adhere to a culture dish, but when you detach them, they round up and jump off the dish just like this toy. This was in the mid 1970s when people still thought of cells like water balloons filled with molasses. But scientists had recently discovered that all cells have an internal skeleton made of molecular ‘acto-myosin’ filaments that generate mechanical tension, as in muscle. So I just assumed that cells must be tensegrity structures.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Later, when I went back to the medical school lab, and saw cancer cells changing shape under the microscope in response to a drug we were testing, I spurted out something like, 'Oh, the tensegrity must have changed'. The postdoc I was working with said, 'What did you say?', and I explained about my art class and Buckminster Fuller, and the sculptor Snelson, and sticks and strings; and he said, 'Well, never say that again'. And, as they say, that was the beginning of the rest of my life.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Mechanical forces regulate cellular activity== &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nancy Fleiser wrote, &amp;quot;Ingber argues that mechanical forces - pushes, pulls, tensions, compressions - are important regulators of cell development and behavior. Tensegrity provides the structure - the architecture if you will - that determines how these physical forces are distributed inside a cell or tissue, and how and where they exert their influence... In trying to reestablish a physical view of biology, Ingber has shown that cells, far from being formless blobs, use tension to stabilize their structure. And he has demonstrated, through two decades of experiments, that tensegrity not only gives cells their shape, but helps regulate their biochemistry.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ingber [2] uses tensegrity as [[Fuller, Richard Buckminster|Fuller]] describes it in [[http://www.rwgrayprojects.com/synergetics/s07/p8100.html#784.00|Synergetics section 784]]. He posits the tension and compression elements of the cytoskeleton as follows, though he does not stipulate the precise mechanics of the implementation:&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Compression]]: tubulin, a stiff component, and&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Tension]]: actin, a tension component&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==The cytoskeleton is a tensegrity scaffold== &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ingber focuses on the internal scaffold or cytoskeleton of the cell. This is a lattice that can be divided into tension and compression members, not unlike the division into tubes and wires that you see in a [[Snelson, Kenneth|Snelson]] sculpture. Fleiser wrote, &amp;quot;The 'wires' are a crisscrossing network of fine cables, known as microfilaments, that stretch from the cell membrane to the nucleus, exerting an inward pull. Opposing the pull are microtubules, the thicker compression-bearing &amp;quot;struts&amp;quot; of the cytoskeleton, and specialized receptor molecules on the cell's outer membrane that anchor the cell to the extracellular matrix, the fibrous substance that holds groups of cells together. This balance of forces is the hallmark of tensegrity.&amp;quot; The cell's components position and role in the tensegrity is integrated as well into their bioinformatic functionality.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Tension-bearing members are geodesic== &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;The tension-bearing members in these structures – whether [[Fuller, Richard Buckminster|Fuller's ]]domes or Snelson's sculptures – map out the shortest paths between adjacent members (and are therefore, by definition, arranged geodesically) Tensional forces naturally transmit themselves over the shortest distance between two points, so the members of a tensegrity structure are precisely positioned to best withstand stress. For this reason, tensegrity structures offer a maximum amount of strength.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
http://www.scribd.com/doc/35269703/Ingber-lecture-From-Cellular-Mechanotransduction-to-Biologically-Inspired-Engineering&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ingber's 2009 Pritzker Award Lecture provides a great overview of the state of cell cytoskeleton comprehension in terms of tensegrity. Ingber divides his talk into eight sections: 1. The living cell as a mechanical structure, 2. A strange idea: tensegrity in cells, 3. Engineering approaches provide new insights into cell structure, 4. Integrins as mechanoreceptors, 5. Structural hierarchies for force transmission in living systems, 6. Solid-state biochemistry and cellular mechanotransduction, 7. Mechanical control of cell function and tissue development and 8. Bioinspired technology fallout. The talk includes a good overview of tensegrity, and details on cell shape stability mechanisms, such as force balances between compressive microtubule struts and tensile actomyosin filaments. He also describes the activity of integrin receptors in the scope of the model. Ingber finds the global nature of tensegrity a good explanation for the behavior of transmembrane surface receptor molecules (e.g., growth factor receptors, integrins, cadherins) and how they induce shape transitions at their cytoplasmic faces, mediating transmembrane signaling.

How Cells (Might) Sense Micro Gravity by Ingber&lt;br /&gt;
http://www.scribd.com/doc/29350783/How-Cells-Might-Sense-Micro-Gravity-by-Ingber&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This article is a summary of a lecture presented at an ESA/NASA Workshop on Cell and Molecular Biology Research in Space that convened in Leuven, Belgium, in June 1998. Recent studies are reviewed which suggest that cells may sense mechanical stresses, including those due to gravity, through changes in the balance of forces that are transmitted across transmembrane adhesion receptors that link the cytoskeleton to the extracellular matrix and to other cells (e.g., integrins, cadherins, selectins). The mechanism by which these mechanical signals are transduced and converted into a biochemical response appears to be based, in part, on the finding that living cells use a tension-dependent form of architecture, known as tensegrity, to organize and stabilize their cytoskeleton. Because of tensegrity, the cellular response to stress differs depending on the level of pre-stress (pre-existing tension) in the cytoskeleton and it involves all three cytoskeletal filament systems as well as nuclear scaffolds. Recent studies confirm that alterations in the cellular force balance can influence intracellular biochemistry within focal adhesion complexes that form at the site of integrin binding as well as gene expression in the nucleus. These results suggest that gravity sensation may not result from direct activation of any single gravioreceptor molecule. Instead, gravitational forces may be experienced by individual cells in the living organism as a result of stress-dependent changes in cell, tissue, or organ structure that, in turn, alter extracellular matrix mechanics, cell shape, cytoskeletal organization, or internal pre-stress in the cell-tissue matrix.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
A powerpoint presentation by Ingber, the world's leading proponent of a tensegrity-based view of cellular structure. The slide deck includes: How are living cells and tissues constructed? A linear view of tissue development(tumor angiogenesis). Local control during angiogenesis, with branching patterns. Extracellular matrix: cells exert tension on their matrix adhesions. Micromechanical control of morphogenesis. Underlying hypothesis: Ecm remodeling changes local mechanics, Increasing ecm flexibility promotes cell stretching, Tension on adhesion receptors &amp;amp; distortion of the cytoskeleton alters cellular biochemistry. Laboratory evidence shows, stretching cells makes them grow and rounded cells die. Cell distortion redirects molecular self-assembly in the cytoskeleton &amp;amp; extracellular matrix guided by localized tension application in cell corners. Local rules &amp;amp; physical determinants govern pattern formation (“symmetry breaking” in mammalian cells). Patterning predicted by whole cell behaviors. Cell fate switching depends on physicality of microenvironment: spatial heterogeneity of cell fates drives morphogenesis. How are cells constructed so that they can sense force? Old view: cells are like water balloons. New view: cells are built like tensegrities, or tensile structured tents. Evidence for this: Resting tension (prestress) in living stress fibers revealed using laser nano-surgery (“tensed cables”), microtubules are semi- flexible compression struts, tensegrity predicts adhesion receptors act as mechanoreceptors, magnetic twisting &amp;amp; pulling cytometry. Research has confirmed many tensegrity model predictions such as (1) Linear relation between stiffness and applied stress (2) Cell mechanics depends on prestress (3) Linear relation between stiffness and prestress (4) Hysteresivity independent of prestress (5) Quantitative prediction of cellular elasticity (6) Prediction of dynamic mechanical behavior (7) Mechanical contribution of intermediate filaments to cell mechanics (8) Microtubules bear compression (9) A local stress can produce distant responses (10) Cortical membrane acts as a prestressed tensegrity. Tensegrity focuses force on molecules in the extracellular matrix and cytoskeleton. Tensegrity provides a mechanism to integrate both local and distant structural responses when forces are transmitted through the cytoskeleton. Signal integration through cell distortion: cells act locally, but “think” globally. Extracellular matrix &amp;amp; cytoskeleton not just structural supports they also are key developmental regulators because they mediate mechanical signaling: a Network model explains their decision making better than a linear model.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;Read here about Professor Donald Ingber, one of the first mainstream biological researchers to posit tensegrity as the best explanation for mechanobiological structure. Due to his work, the cytoskeleton is now widely believed to be a tensegrity structure, and tensegrity mechanics at the cellular level is now close to replacing all previous mechanical models of the cell.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ingber has demonstrated a direct tensegrity-type link between the surface of the [[Cells, Biological|cell ]]and the cell nucleus [3].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Short Biography of Ingber= &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Donald A. Ingber is Senior Associate in Pathology and Surgery of the Vascular Biology Program, Judah Folkman Professor in Vascular Biology, Harvard Medical School. He simultaneously received his MD and PhD from Yale University. He is credited on over 20 patents which cover technologies ranging from new cancer drugs and drug-screening assays to medical devices, micromanufacturing techniques, and computer software.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Donald Ingber is interested in how cell structure and mechanics impact cellular biochemistry and tissue development. His research approach has combined techniques from various fields, including molecular cell biology, engineering, chemistry, physics, and computer science.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Tensegrity Concepts in Ingber's Work= &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Inspired by Snelson== &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ingber wrote in [4]: &amp;quot;Strangely, my story starts in an undergraduate art class, which I elected to take even though I was a science major. One day my professor brought in a ‘tensegrity’ sculpture into class made of [[Strut, Materials|sticks]] and [[Tendon, Materials|elastic strings]] that looked much like this [[Skwish|toy]] I am holding before you right now. This structure is composed of sticks connected by elastic strings. Without the sticks, the network of strings would lose its shape and become limp, like a spider web cut from its attachments. But because the sticks resist the inward pull of the strings, the whole structure is placed in a state of isometric tension that stabilizes it in this round form. The tensegrity building system was first described by [[Fuller, Richard Buckminster|Buckminster Fuller]], the inventor of the geodesic dome, and the sculptor [[Snelson, Kenneth|Kenneth Snelson]]. It gains its shape stability by balancing tension and compression between struts and strings, just like [[Bone|bones]] and muscles do in our body. For example, the stiffness of my extended arm depends on the level of isometric tension or ‘tone’ in muscles, just like in this model.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;As my art professor spoke, he pushed this round sculpture flat, and when he let go, it leapt up in the air. This was interesting, because I had seen the same behavior just days before when I first learned how to culture cells across the campus in a medical school laboratory. Cells flatten when they adhere to a culture dish, but when you detach them, they round up and jump off the dish just like this toy. This was in the mid 1970s when people still thought of cells like water balloons filled with molasses. But scientists had recently discovered that all cells have an internal skeleton made of molecular ‘acto-myosin’ filaments that generate mechanical tension, as in muscle. So I just assumed that cells must be tensegrity structures.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Later, when I went back to the medical school lab, and saw cancer cells changing shape under the microscope in response to a drug we were testing, I spurted out something like, 'Oh, the tensegrity must have changed'. The postdoc I was working with said, 'What did you say?', and I explained about my art class and Buckminster Fuller, and the sculptor Snelson, and sticks and strings; and he said, 'Well, never say that again'. And, as they say, that was the beginning of the rest of my life.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Mechanical forces regulate cellular activity== &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nancy Fleiser wrote, &amp;quot;Ingber argues that mechanical forces - pushes, pulls, tensions, compressions - are important regulators of cell development and behavior. Tensegrity provides the structure - the architecture if you will - that determines how these physical forces are distributed inside a cell or tissue, and how and where they exert their influence... In trying to reestablish a physical view of biology, Ingber has shown that cells, far from being formless blobs, use tension to stabilize their structure. And he has demonstrated, through two decades of experiments, that tensegrity not only gives cells their shape, but helps regulate their biochemistry.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ingber [2] uses tensegrity as [[Fuller, Richard Buckminster|Fuller]] describes it in [[http://www.rwgrayprojects.com/synergetics/s07/p8100.html#784.00|Synergetics section 784]]. He posits the tension and compression elements of the cytoskeleton as follows, though he does not stipulate the precise mechanics of the implementation:&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Compression]]: tubulin, a stiff component, and&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Tension]]: actin, a tension component&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==The cytoskeleton is a tensegrity scaffold== &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ingber focuses on the internal scaffold or cytoskeleton of the cell. This is a lattice that can be divided into tension and compression members, not unlike the division into tubes and wires that you see in a [[Snelson, Kenneth|Snelson]] sculpture. Fleiser wrote, &amp;quot;The 'wires' are a crisscrossing network of fine cables, known as microfilaments, that stretch from the cell membrane to the nucleus, exerting an inward pull. Opposing the pull are microtubules, the thicker compression-bearing &amp;quot;struts&amp;quot; of the cytoskeleton, and specialized receptor molecules on the cell's outer membrane that anchor the cell to the extracellular matrix, the fibrous substance that holds groups of cells together. This balance of forces is the hallmark of tensegrity.&amp;quot; The cell's components position and role in the tensegrity is integrated as well into their bioinformatic functionality.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Tension-bearing members are geodesic== &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;The tension-bearing members in these structures – whether [[Fuller, Richard Buckminster|Fuller's ]]domes or Snelson's sculptures – map out the shortest paths between adjacent members (and are therefore, by definition, arranged geodesically) Tensional forces naturally transmit themselves over the shortest distance between two points, so the members of a tensegrity structure are precisely positioned to best withstand stress. For this reason, tensegrity structures offer a maximum amount of strength.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
http://www.scribd.com/doc/35269703/Ingber-lecture-From-Cellular-Mechanotransduction-to-Biologically-Inspired-Engineering&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ingber's 2009 Pritzker Award Lecture provides a great overview of the state of cell cytoskeleton comprehension in terms of tensegrity. Ingber divides his talk into eight sections: 1. The living cell as a mechanical structure, 2. A strange idea: tensegrity in cells, 3. Engineering approaches provide new insights into cell structure, 4. Integrins as mechanoreceptors, 5. Structural hierarchies for force transmission in living systems, 6. Solid-state biochemistry and cellular mechanotransduction, 7. Mechanical control of cell function and tissue development and 8. Bioinspired technology fallout. The talk includes a good overview of tensegrity, and details on cell shape stability mechanisms, such as force balances between compressive microtubule struts and tensile actomyosin filaments. He also describes the activity of integrin receptors in the scope of the model. Ingber finds the global nature of tensegrity a good explanation for the behavior of transmembrane surface receptor molecules (e.g., growth factor receptors, integrins, cadherins) and how they induce shape transitions at their cytoplasmic faces, mediating transmembrane signaling.

How Cells (Might) Sense Micro Gravity by Ingber&lt;br /&gt;
http://www.scribd.com/doc/29350783/How-Cells-Might-Sense-Micro-Gravity-by-Ingber&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This article is a summary of a lecture presented at an ESA/NASA Workshop on Cell and Molecular Biology Research in Space that convened in Leuven, Belgium, in June 1998. Recent studies are reviewed which suggest that cells may sense mechanical stresses, including those due to gravity, through changes in the balance of forces that are transmitted across transmembrane adhesion receptors that link the cytoskeleton to the extracellular matrix and to other cells (e.g., integrins, cadherins, selectins). The mechanism by which these mechanical signals are transduced and converted into a biochemical response appears to be based, in part, on the finding that living cells use a tension-dependent form of architecture, known as tensegrity, to organize and stabilize their cytoskeleton. Because of tensegrity, the cellular response to stress differs depending on the level of pre-stress (pre-existing tension) in the cytoskeleton and it involves all three cytoskeletal filament systems as well as nuclear scaffolds. Recent studies confirm that alterations in the cellular force balance can influence intracellular biochemistry within focal adhesion complexes that form at the site of integrin binding as well as gene expression in the nucleus. These results suggest that gravity sensation may not result from direct activation of any single gravioreceptor molecule. Instead, gravitational forces may be experienced by individual cells in the living organism as a result of stress-dependent changes in cell, tissue, or organ structure that, in turn, alter extracellular matrix mechanics, cell shape, cytoskeletal organization, or internal pre-stress in the cell-tissue matrix.&lt;br /&gt;

Tensegrity-Based Mechanical Control of Mammalian Cell Fate Switching and Morphogenesis by Ingber&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
http://www.scribd.com/doc/35313421/Tensegrity-Based-Mechanical-Control-of-Mammalian-Cell-Fate-Switching-and-Morphogenesis-by-Ingber&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A powerpoint presentation by Ingber, the world's leading proponent of a tensegrity-based view of cellular structure. The slide deck includes: How are living cells and tissues constructed? A linear view of tissue development(tumor angiogenesis). Local control during angiogenesis, with branching patterns. Extracellular matrix: cells exert tension on their matrix adhesions. Micromechanical control of morphogenesis. Underlying hypothesis: Ecm remodeling changes local mechanics, Increasing ecm flexibility promotes cell stretching, Tension on adhesion receptors &amp;amp; distortion of the cytoskeleton alters cellular biochemistry. Laboratory evidence shows, stretching cells makes them grow and rounded cells die. Cell distortion redirects molecular self-assembly in the cytoskeleton &amp;amp; extracellular matrix guided by localized tension application in cell corners. Local rules &amp;amp; physical determinants govern pattern formation (“symmetry breaking” in mammalian cells). Patterning predicted by whole cell behaviors. Cell fate switching depends on physicality of microenvironment: spatial heterogeneity of cell fates drives morphogenesis. How are cells constructed so that they can sense force? Old view: cells are like water balloons. New view: cells are built like tensegrities, or tensile structured tents. Evidence for this: Resting tension (prestress) in living stress fibers revealed using laser nano-surgery (“tensed cables”), microtubules are semi- flexible compression struts, tensegrity predicts adhesion receptors act as mechanoreceptors, magnetic twisting &amp;amp; pulling cytometry. Research has confirmed many tensegrity model predictions such as (1) Linear relation between stiffness and applied stress (2) Cell mechanics depends on prestress (3) Linear relation between stiffness and prestress (4) Hysteresivity independent of prestress (5) Quantitative prediction of cellular elasticity (6) Prediction of dynamic mechanical behavior (7) Mechanical contribution of intermediate filaments to cell mechanics (8) Microtubules bear compression (9) A local stress can produce distant responses (10) Cortical membrane acts as a prestressed tensegrity. Tensegrity focuses force on molecules in the extracellular matrix and cytoskeleton. Tensegrity provides a mechanism to integrate both local and distant structural responses when forces are transmitted through the cytoskeleton. Signal integration through cell distortion: cells act locally, but “think” globally. Extracellular matrix &amp;amp; cytoskeleton not just structural supports they also are key developmental regulators because they mediate mechanical signaling: a Network model explains their decision making better than a linear model.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Read here about '''furniture''', those consumer products, furnishings and other tensegrity-based movable objects that support various human activities such as seating and sleeping in beds, holding objects at a convenient height for work using horizontal surfaces above the ground, or storing things.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Overview= &lt;br /&gt;
Tensegrity furniture designs are constrained by the conventional design of such artifacts, and their need to accommodate common, expected affordances such as seats, doors, and shelves to contain, organize or just co-exist with other household goods and activities.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Designed by Theodore Waddel (b. 1930). After graduating in Chemistry (1950) and earning a Masters’ in Business Administration in 1951 from Cornell, Theodore Waddell did his Master’s in Architecture at the University of Pennsylvania (1964) and took a first in Architecture at Florence (1968). He practiced as architect and industrial designer in Italy for fifteen years, making a name for himself also as photographer. He returned to the USA and set up practice in Santa Fe, New Mexico, where he now lives and works. Five of his lamps are to be seen in the Musée des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, and two are in the permanent collection at the MoMA in New York; this museum dedicated a special exhibition to him in 1969. The 713/714 Tensegrity tables designed for Cassina have been in the catalogue since 1972.&lt;br /&gt;

This chair is an experiment in making a flexible folding chair, using a tensile structure. This product is intellectual property of Tectonicus Constructs llc, patent pending and anyone found illegally duplicating this will be found and prosecuted. The chair uses common materials, molded plywood, steel tube, and stainless steel cables. The combination of the steel cables, three legs, and plywood make for a chair that flexes as is it sat upon, thus adding a bit of comfort to the folding chair. The design is also fairly lightweight for ease of portability. Tectonius is seeking manufacturers, contact ben -at- tectonicus.com.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Read here about '''furniture''', those consumer products, furnishings and other tensegrity-based movable objects that support various human activities such as seating and sleeping in beds, holding objects at a convenient height for work using horizontal surfaces above the ground, or storing things.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Overview= &lt;br /&gt;
Tensegrity furniture designs are constrained by the conventional design of such artifacts, and their need to accommodate common, expected affordances such as seats, doors, and shelves to contain, organize or just co-exist with other household goods and activities.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Designed by Theodore Waddel (b. 1930). After graduating in Chemistry (1950) and earning a Masters’ in Business Administration in 1951 from Cornell, Theodore Waddell did his Master’s in Architecture at the University of Pennsylvania (1964) and took a first in Architecture at Florence (1968). He practiced as architect and industrial designer in Italy for fifteen years, making a name for himself also as photographer. He returned to the USA and set up practice in Santa Fe, New Mexico, where he now lives and works. Five of his lamps are to be seen in the Musée des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, and two are in the permanent collection at the MoMA in New York; this museum dedicated a special exhibition to him in 1969. The 713/714 Tensegrity tables designed for Cassina have been in the catalogue since 1972.&lt;br /&gt;

==Chair by Tectonius==&lt;br /&gt;
This chair is an experiment in making a flexible folding chair, using a tensile structure. This product is intellectual property of Tectonicus Constructs llc, patent pending and anyone found illegally duplicating this will be found and prosecuted. The chair uses common materials, molded plywood, steel tube, and stainless steel cables. The combination of the steel cables, three legs, and plywood make for a chair that flexes as is it sat upon, thus adding a bit of comfort to the folding chair. The design is also fairly lightweight for ease of portability. Tectonius is seeking manufacturers, contact ben -at- tectonicus.com.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Read here about '''furniture''', those consumer products, furnishings and other tensegrity-based movable objects that support various human activities such as seating and sleeping in beds, holding objects at a convenient height for work using horizontal surfaces above the ground, or storing things.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Overview= &lt;br /&gt;
Tensegrity furniture designs are constrained by the conventional design of such artifacts, and their need to accommodate common, expected affordances such as seats, doors, and shelves to contain, organize or just co-exist with other household goods and activities.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Designed by Theodore Waddel (b. 1930). After graduating in Chemistry (1950) and earning a Masters’ in Business Administration in 1951 from Cornell, Theodore Waddell did his Master’s in Architecture at the University of Pennsylvania (1964) and took a first in Architecture at Florence (1968). He practiced as architect and industrial designer in Italy for fifteen years, making a name for himself also as photographer. He returned to the USA and set up practice in Santa Fe, New Mexico, where he now lives and works. Five of his lamps are to be seen in the Musée des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, and two are in the permanent collection at the MoMA in New York; this museum dedicated a special exhibition to him in 1969. The 713/714 Tensegrity tables designed for Cassina have been in the catalogue since 1972.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Read here about '''furniture''', those consumer products, furnishings and other tensegrity-based movable objects that support various human activities such as seating and sleeping in beds, holding objects at a convenient height for work using horizontal surfaces above the ground, or storing things.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Overview= &lt;br /&gt;
Tensegrity furniture designs are constrained by the conventional design of such artifacts, and their need to accommodate common, expected affordances such as seats, doors, and shelves to contain, organize or just co-exist with other household goods and activities.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Designed by Theodore Waddel (b. 1930). After graduating in Chemistry (1950) and earning a Masters’ in Business Administration in 1951 from Cornell, Theodore Waddell did his Master’s in Architecture at the University of Pennsylvania (1964) and took a first in Architecture at Florence (1968). He practiced as architect and industrial designer in Italy for fifteen years, making a name for himself also as photographer. He returned to the USA and set up practice in Santa Fe, New Mexico, where he now lives and works. Five of his lamps are to be seen in the Musée des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, and two are in the permanent collection at the MoMA in New York; this museum dedicated a special exhibition to him in 1969. The 713/714 Tensegrity tables designed for Cassina have been in the catalogue since 1972.&lt;br /&gt;

==Chair by Tectonius==&lt;br /&gt;
This chair is an experiment in making a flexible folding chair, using a tensile structure. This product is intellectual property of Tectonicus Constructs llc, patent pending and anyone found illegally duplicating this will be found and prosecuted. The chair uses common materials, molded plywood, steel tube, and stainless steel cables. The combination of the steel cables, three legs, and plywood make for a chair that flexes as is it sat upon, thus adding a bit of comfort to the folding chair. The design is also fairly lightweight for ease of portability. Tectonius is seeking manufacturers, contact ben -at- tectonicus.com.&lt;br /&gt;

=What is tensegrity?= &lt;br /&gt;
Tensegrity is the way the world organizes itself. Build or buy a model and experience it yourself!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Why learn about it?= &lt;br /&gt;
Whatever your goal in life, it's good to understand how the world works. Tensegrity, discovered about 60 years ago, is a new way of understanding forces at play. Whether you are building a business, designing household objects, building robots, or trying to live sustainably in a resource-challenged world, tensegrity offers innovative ways of thinking about how parts and wholes interact.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=What is Tensegrity Wiki, The Encyclopedia of Tensegrity?= &lt;br /&gt;
This website is a wiki dedicated to exploring the field of tensegrity, a subset of energetic-synergetic geometry. It is intended to use the &amp;quot;power of crowds&amp;quot; to fine-tune and make available accurate knowledge about tensegrities. This includes all aspects of tensegrity including structural tensegrity sculptures, dynamically adjusting tensegrity robotics, biotensegrity as expressed in cellular mechanics, biotensegrity as expressed in mammalian anatomical fascial/bone structure, tensegrity therapy as a set of mind-body practices, tensegrity as it illuminates ancient philosophies of harmony, music and dance inspired by tensegrity, and so on.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=How do I get started?= &lt;br /&gt;
Dive into one of our categories, which organize the entries into themes, or access one of our most popular pages: [[Chronology of Tensegrity]], [[Bridge]], [[3 struts]], [[Icosahedron]], [[Bicycle Wheel]], [[How To Build A 30 Strut Soda Straw Dodecahedron]], [[How To Build A 3 Strut Copper Base for a Table]], [[Furniture]], [[Arch]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Or write your own entry!&lt;br /&gt;

==Who can contribute?== &lt;br /&gt;
* University students using the wiki in their studies&lt;br /&gt;
* Anyone.&lt;br /&gt;
* Language? A lot of important work in tensegrity is being conducted as tenségrité (French), tensegridad (Spanish), Tensintegro (Italian), טנסגריטי (Hebrew). But multi-language support is not enabled on this wiki. For now, let's store articles in other languages along with the English ones.&lt;br /&gt;
* Questions? Contact tensegritywiki at gmail, the Wiki moderator.&lt;br /&gt;
