Buckminster Fuller’s manifestations of synergy in complementary forces are relevant to understand our ability to balance and move.
Buckminster Fuller (american ingenieur, inventor. genius, philosopher, 1895 - 1983) developed constructions of „integrating most economically both compressional and tensional elements into a whole system“. His Tensegrity models allow us to actually see, understand and use these principles for our own conceptions.
In my view these principles are not only basic for the specific stability of the human body, to understand them also helps us to make better use of the inevitable instability in movement. Pictures will illustrate the lecture and a discussion in the end will deepen the understanding. I will also use a few practical experiments.
