=== Architecture === Tensegrities saw increased application in architecture beginning in the 1960s, when [[Maciej Gintowt]] and [[Maciej Krasiński]] designed [[Spodek]] arena complex (in [[Katowice]], [[Poland]]), as one of the first major structures to employ the principle of tensegrity. The roof uses an inclined surface held in check by a system of cables holding up its circumference. Tensegrity principles were also used in [[David Geiger]]'s Seoul [[Olympic Gymnastics Arena]] (for the [[1988 Summer Olympics]]), and the [[Georgia Dome]] (for the [[1996 Summer Olympics]]). [[Tropicana Field]], home of the Tampa Bay Rays major league baseball team, also has a dome roof supported by a large tensegrity structure. [[File:Brisbane (6868660143).jpg|thumb|left|Largest tensegrity bridge in the world, [[Kurilpa Bridge]] – [[Brisbane]]]] On 4 October 2009, the [[Kurilpa Bridge, Brisbane|Kurilpa Bridge]] opened across the [[Brisbane River]] in [[Queensland, Australia]]. A multiple-mast, cable-stay structure based on the principles of tensegrity, it is currently the world's largest tensegrity bridge.
