I am fascinated by the tensegrity (tension & integrity) buildings and structures. They look as if they are kept together by magic defying the laws of nature.
Of course, I wanted to design my own tensegrity structure and in the end, I decided to design something a little bit more complex - The Impossible Eiffel Tower.
The Impossible Eiffel Tower is fully 3D-printable. No other materials are needed!
