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

“Compared to conventional silicon based photovoltaic technology, Dyesol’s technology has lower cost and embodied energy in manufacture, it produces electricity more efficiently even in low light conditions and can be directly incorporated into buildings by replacing conventional glass panels rather than taking up roof or extra land area.” (from company website)
