［摘要］尽管艺术家和结构工程师的工作目的有很大的区别，但他们的工作过程却有着相同的特征，这主要体现在初步设计阶段。而且艺术家在某些新型结构领域往往走在前列，尤其是在张拉整体这一领域。本文对这一方面进行了阐述，从艺术和结构工程、艺术家和结构工程师之间关系出发，逐渐形成了与张拉整体体系这一结构形态学相关的某些主要特征。第3节对已经实现的或者计划中的张拉整体体系工程进行了介绍。

Tensegrity: from art to structural engineering
René Motro(University of Montpellier France，France)
Abstract:Even if the objectives of artists and civil engineers are quite different, their processes have common features, mainly during the early design stages. Moreover artists are pioneers in some innovative structural compositions. This is particularly true for tensegrity, and this article illustrates this fact. Beginning with the relation between art and structural engineering, between artists and engineers, we develop then some of the main characteristics linked with the structural morphology of tensegrity systems. The third part is devoted to the description of examples of realized and projected tensegrity systems.
Keywords:art；structural engineering；tensegrity
