Explanation:

"World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO)
(WO/2010/004071) SELF-TENSIONING STRUCTURE FOR COMPOSITE-MATERIAL BRIDGES
...
(EN) Self-tensioning structure for composite-material bridges, for bridges, footbridges, or other elements spanning a gap, that comprises a framework (E) of tension members, a panel (T) and supporting members or posts (P), the framework (E) comprising a variable number of laminar elements of composite material, preferably (FRP), forming a three-dimensionally hyperstatic structure of 9+6n elements or of 4+6n elements, joined to each other and to supports made up of the posts (P), and whose external dimensions are delimited by the length of the bridge and the gaps between the supports, which are preferably glued together, and tensioned by controlling the lengths in the assembly and the tension attributable to the transmission of its own weight."

"David Georges Emmerich taught morphology at the Ecole des Beaux Arts, and later at the Paris-La Villette School of Architecture from 1965 to 1990.An architect and engineer by training, convinced of the modern movement's inability to provide mankind with the architectural space needed, his research led to constructive systems using cheap, industrialised components, with wide scope for self-help housing as well as a broad range of architectural structures.His extensive study of regular partitioning in space, natural shapes, the resistance of shapes and combinatorial analysis led him to developing stereometric systems; and, more specifically, to the invention of self-tensioning, or tensegrity, structures."
