Read here about tensegrity structures that are deployed in the shape of an arch.

Overview

An arch is a structure that spans a space, usually supporting weight, in the form of an inverted "U."

In a tensegrity arch, a basic tensegrity module--usually the 3 strut --is repeated with slight length and filament variations in length such that the structure arches. The repeating module that forms the arch is usually accompanied by another module that forms its two bases.
