Abstract
This paper presents a special type of innovative light structural systems under the name of tensegrity. The paper looks into their history, gives a summary of design issues and analyzes some examples of its practical application. These
structures require a close cooperation between an architect and a structural engineer from the very beginning. Knowledge of design and in particular of structural principles will certainly contribute to its wider applicability in the future.
