2. Any special skills and equipments are not needed.
3. All materials for modeling is not expensive and found in supermarket or DIY shop.
Conclusion
1. The paper reduces gap between the knowledge from text & graphics and the experiences by modeling.
2. Architect can use it as design source book. They can design by modeling by its instruction.
3. The paper improves an existing education tool, "tensegritoy" which can not describe strength tensegrity originally has.
