Tensegrity as " The Architecture of Life " is an idea developed by Donald E. Ingber, explained in a January 1998 article in Scientific American and further discussed at the blog " Tensegrity ".

Tensegrity in molecular biology has been developed by Donald Ingber.

Tensegrity structures are structures based on the combination of a few simple design patterns:

Tensegrity geodesic spheres do what they do because they have the properties of hydraulically or pneumatically inflated structures.

This is the only model to date that provides biological cells with a mechanism capable of pre-stressing flexible, membrane-associated protein networks, which is absent from Glanz & Ingbers ' exclusively protein-based models of cellular “ Tensegrity ” structures.

Tensegrity, tensional integrity or floating compression, is a structural principle based on the use of isolated components in compression inside a net of continuous tension, in such a way that the compressed members ( usually bars or struts ) do not touch each other and the prestressed tensioned members ( usually cables or tendons ) delineate the system spatially.

Tensegrity is a contraction of tensional integrity structuring.

Travelers entering from the desert were confounded by what must have seemed an illusion: a great garden filled with nightingales and roses, cut by canals and terraced promenades, studded with water tanks of turquoise tile in which were reflected the glistening blue curves of a hundred domes.

On Mars humans were building pressure domes for the male and female party that would arrive by next ship.

Byzantine-A religious art characterised by large domes, rounded arches and mosaics from the eastern Roman Empire in the 4th Century.

It is a large and rectangular building, with a total of twenty domes that are arranged in four rows of five, and are supported by 12 columns.

The subdivisions of space formed by multiple domes and pillars create a sense of privacy and even intimacy.

) The mosques that were built after the conquest of Constantinople ( Istanbul ) by the Ottoman Turks in 1453, and influenced by the design of the 6th century Byzantine basilica of Hagia Sophia, had increasingly elevated and large central domes, which create a vertical emphasis that is intended to be more overwhelming ; in order to convey the divine power of Allah, the majesty of the Ottoman Sultan, and the governmental authority of the Ottoman State.

This style was heavily influenced by Byzantine religious architecture with its use of large central domes.

Others, such as Beta Colony and Komarr, can only be inhabited by people if they are gathered in cities under domes or arcologies with a controlled climate.

Significant deposits of elemental sulfur, believed to have been ( and are still being ) synthesised by anaerobic bacteria on sulfate minerals like gypsum, exist in salt domes along the coast of the Gulf of Mexico, and in evaporites in eastern Europe and western Asia.

As a mineral, native sulfur under salt domes is thought to be a fossil mineral resource, produced by the action of ancient bacteria on sulfate deposits.

The previous seven games played in domes were all won by the road team which wore white.

Some volcanoes have rugged peaks formed by lava domes rather than a summit crater, whereas others present landscape features such as massive plateaus.

With the recent volcanic activity starting in 2004, the glacier lobes were pushed aside and upward by the growth of new volcanic domes.

" The Plowshares organization temporarily closed GCSB Waihopai by padlocking the gates and using sickles to deflate one of the large domes covering two satellite dishes.

Underground vaults and domes did not require buttress supports since they were held in place by earthen pits.

The Altai, seen from this valley, presents the most romantic scenes, including the small but deep Kolyvan lake ( altitude 360 m ), which is surrounded by fantastic granite domes and towers.

By the 6th century the iconography of the Ascension in Christian art had been established and by the 9th century Ascension scenes were being depicted on domes of churches.

Inspired by St. Peter's Basilica in Rome, the original for all Baroque domes, it is one of the triumphs of French Baroque architecture.

Lining the Court of Honour, the domes building, from the 16th century, formerly housed the Royal Stables and the silk worm farm introduced into France by Catherine de ' Medici.

Nor was there among them formerly any image or statue of the Divine Being ; during the first one hundred and seventy years they built temples, indeed, and other sacred domes, but placed in them no figure of any kind ; persuaded that it is impious to represent things Divine by what is perishable, and that we can have no conception of God but by the understanding ".

Climatron | The Climatron greenhouse at Missouri Botanical Gardens, built in 1960 and designed by Thomas C. Howard of Synergetics, Inc., inspired the domes in the science fiction movie Silent Running.
