Benedetta Tagliabue reflects upon the gestation of the Public Library Enric Miralles in Palafolls, Spain, describing how the practice’s buildings embody both a local and a universal cultural ethos – with reference to this and other projects, including the Spanish Pavilion at the Shanghai Expo.

Yosuke Ushigome and Ryuma Niiyama bring life into Tensegrity structures
In 1948, artist Kenneth Snelson produced his innovative 'X-Piece' after artistic explorations at Black Mountain College (where Buckminster Fuller was lecturing) and elsewhere. Tensegrity structures are a combination of tension and compression components. In 1949, Buckminster Fuller developed an icosahedron based on this technology, and he and his students developed further structures and applied the technology to building domes. Yosuke Ushigome and Ryuma Niiyama have added pneumatic "artificial muscles". Archi/e Machina has a dome shape with 21 struts and 84 cables.
