Unlike the truss structure, the members of a tensegrity structure are held apart creating a void between them.

Tensegrity or tensional integrity is a property of structures with an integrity based on a balance between tension and compression components.(wikipedia)
In these structures tension and compression forces are completely separated and the result is a exceptionally rigid structure.
elastic bands = tension
chopsticks = compression force
